AbiCollab Takes On Google Docs and Zoho Writer

Posted by kdawson on Wednesday October 28, 2009 @12:03AM from the my-word dept.

msevior writes "Just released today, the free software AbiWord word processor, employed by the One Laptop Per Child project, tightly integrates with a new collaboration Web site to enable easy real-time collaborative editing of documents. AbiCollab.net also enables documents to be stored online, allows format conversion on the fly, stores the history of the docs in svn, provides direct links to HTML-ized docs that update as you save them, and allows easy sharing of docs amongst friends and groups. All in all, new competition for Google Docs and Zoho Writer, but featuring a real word processor rather than an app in a browser."

For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many
unnecessary posts come to me for consideration. Slashvertisements, Bugs, bad posts, good
car analogies are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the mods just
kicks the can down the alley.

Yet another techie year has come and gone without the major reforms slashdot readers
overwhlmingly deserve. In light of this and after careful consideration I believe it is
unnecessary to sign this measure at this time

Sincerely,
