Since launching on March 27, Euro-Office has moved quickly. We have been heads-down on the things that matter most for a young open-source project: making it easier to build & contribute to, documenting our code and processes, and publishing a Euro-Office roadmap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are also happy to welcome two new members to the coalition, and existing coalition members are hiring. Besides these formal contributions, significant community contributions have been received, especially in improving security and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is an update on where things stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Euro-Office roadmap: Security, performance, and ODF support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Over the coming days, we plan to publish a roadmap on GitHub, so everyone can see where we are headed. While we collect existing tickets and create new things, we wanted to share an overview of our goals so the community has a clear picture of where Euro-Office is headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already started & ongoing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
When we started, our focus was on making Euro-Office easier to build, removing unneeded dependencies, replacing binary blobs, and so on. Much of this work is done, but there is still a fair bit to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Improve the build process further<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Set up automated testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Translate code comments that aren\u2019t in English<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Improve documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Clean up and refactor code that has outdated dependencies or binary blobs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When we went live, a lot of the contributions had to do with performance or were related to security. These are, of course, important concerns, and we will keep working on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Improve security: Various PR’s were done, including updates to an outdated OpenSSL and more<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Improve performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bugfixes\/improve stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Removal of some artificial restrictions, like limits to mobile editing and the admin panel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Next steps: improved ODF support, integrations, mobile apps, and more<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While we work on all those very technical things, we also want to ship a product! Our goal is first to make a production-ready build of the server, clean up the code, and make integration with the various products like Nextcloud and OpenProject easier. Then we will work on the desktop and mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Make Euro-Office production-ready on the server (incl PDF editor)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Improve ODF support<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Improve integration features: Allow skipping different cloud services, chat, and other unneeded features, and allow using a different AI back-end<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Improve Nextcloud integration: Build an easy Office selector, and integrate Smart Picker and other tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Release the desktop app for Windows, Mac, and Linux<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Release Mobile apps for Android and iOS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
One item we want to call out specifically: Euro-Office will work towards full ODF support<\/strong>. That is not only because it matters technically, but also reflects our priorities: a focus on open standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
