In February, LibreOffice announced plans to expand beyond a traditional desktop office suite. Since then, The Document Foundation has introduced a new strategy to bring its offering to web browsers, mobile devices, and collaborative editing, following its decision to reopen the LibreOffice Online project with a renewed community focus.
Above all, The Document Foundation will continue desktop development, releasing two major updates per year and ongoing work on the Android Viewer. At the same time, however, the foundation also recognizes ongoing demand for web and mobile versions.
The most significant change is the new web strategy. Rather than reverting to the previous LibreOffice Online model, The Document Foundation is developing a prototype using Qt 6 and WebAssembly. This aims to run LibreOffice directly in the browser, minimizing server-side processing.
