Lo scopo di CODE è quello di fornire agli sviluppatori un modo semplice per ottenere l’accesso anticipato alle più recenti funzionalità e aggiornamenti di LibreOffice Online al fine di consentir loro loro di poter sviluppare e contribuire in maniera più semplice.

L’accordo prevede anche l’arrivo, nel 2016, di una soluzione commerciale, basata sull’integrazione fra Collabora CloudSuite (che consente di avere la suite da ufficio online, su mobile e su desktop) con ownCloud Server.

CODE: Editing di file di testo

CODE consente la modifica la modifica di documenti da web browser ed offre un supporto ai principali formati di file di testo (docx, doc, odt, pdf, …), fogli di calcolo (xlsx, xls, ods, …) e presentazioni (pptx, ppt, odp, …). Tutti i file vengono elaborati in cloud e resi localmente.

CODE: editing di fogli di calcolo

Questa versione iniziale di CODE consente il solo editing ma è in programma l’aggiunta dell’editing collaborativo.
