Wasn't collabora trying to be this
Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

This should open it to being used collaboratively.
Then I can convince wherever I work, to use this instead of going with other MS stuff?
Why everything is going to be browser based?
My first gut reaction was "Neat, but no thank you" but the more I think about how many clients COULD be using a cloud hosted privacy respecting platform instead of 365, I quickly bit my lip.
They say in their post that they won't host it.
(IMO) even better.
Give me the package to self-host it.
Yeah, I agree with that. Give me a container.
Yes that's understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I'm all for it.
Some new EU funding in the background?
I'm quite happy with local apps, but I could see the appeal for self-hosting if the server would scale for the client (ie laptop on the desk vs mobile phone on the road)
Why? Why anyone needs online version?
