Open Source Online Office Suite - Calling for PHP developers

Post by chimneydials »

Thought about making web 2.0 apps like google docs and zoho writer yourself? Well, here is your chance. Not really. We are not recreating them but we are doing something similar and superior(hopefully) to them.

This is an open source community driven attempt to create an online office suite. We began last week and have already started coding on the writer/word processor. We only have four developers now and we are desperately seeking more developers to accelerate development. Come and join in the fun.

For more info, IM (immediate response) me at saynothingyetsomething@hotmail.com or take a look at the wiki http://ioffice.wetpaint.com/ (wetpaint seems to be down now). The technologies involved are AJAX, HTML and PHP with a mysql database. This is really exciting :D . (beating Google in something?? haha, maybe...)

The whole idea sounds really great. But, I have one question that you need to ask yourself before continue the work on this project:

Why to use your office when I have Google's???

I think that online office isn't very useful...

Think about it.

And Good Luck with the ioffice project :D

office suite

in reply to the previous comment, firstly this office is not mine so to speak. It is open source and now we have 6 developers and still looking. Why would you use this rather than google? Firstly, it is open source. Then, it will also be better in features than google hopefully (google need not be the best all the time) and it is more customizable than google. Open source software also tends to have a better community and feedback loop.
