Free translation of the original news.
in my time it was called Google Docs not Google Office xD
The news is old and I do not know what its sources are, but in the other articles nothing is mentioned of any relationship with openoffice, perhaps it was invented by those of the article in English
The news is not old since it indicates the release date of the first release and the link to test the application, data that I think has not been previously exposed anywhere, and regarding the relationship with OpenOffice I refer you to the capture screen that I sent in a previous comment, a document published by them as an example on the application site.

If you come to show it a week after the whole blogosphere, if it is old, and your capture does not help me, I had to read the (to the bottom right) to check it, and yes, I apologize for that xD
I think that your concept of old / new should be reviewed, I think it is somewhat subjective and you use it as it suits you.
On the other hand, the web where to obtain more information about the news is indicated in the article, you should have been more cautious before accusing anyone of having invented the information, it is only a modest advice, you are free to follow it or not.
As the purpose of the article is not to create controversy, I consider the issue settled here.
A greeting.
Old are the rags - and Debian !!
I think it will be a good alternative!
I tried it and it is luxurious 😀
how do you put the desktop in the useragent ???
is added at the end
So?
Oo I love the interface, really attractive. Without a doubt, if OpenOffice gets to get something like that on the desktop, it will happen to me without hesitation.
I really think they are doing a great job in the graphic section, we will wait until it is more mature to see what it offers us.
A greeting.
Doesn't work in Firefox
In my case with Firefox 19.0.2 it works perfectly.

It has an interface similar to calligra, how does it work when the window is minimized? Does it adapt or not to the reduction of space?
Strange, I just just tried it on the same version of Firefox as you.
What happens is that Arch uses ...
confirmed, it works in firefox 19.0.2, although it is in Italian Oo
By the way of the note, this collaboration between OX and LO will be very beneficial if different capabilities are integrated and contribute something to the UI 😀
It can be put in Spanish in the XD menu
This is more than good news, it is excellent :-D. At the moment I have only used it "superficially" since it is a sample, then I will give you more time to see it, but it looks very promising. I also wait for «Spreadsheets» 😉
This is good news: D. Looks great.!
Creative Commons licenses are not made for programs. Bad idea of the guys.
I do not see the problem
If the licenses are created for community creative content then they are inapplicable to the software in the same way that an artwork cannot be licensed under an inappropriate license.
It's like eating sausage with jam.
Can I use it on my website? In other words, on my website I can upload office documents. Can I see and edit them with this new tool? Thank you..
