A while ago, Simon Phipps, member of the Board of Directors at The Document Foundation, shared the idea to introduce a peer-to-peer collaboration built in to desktop LibreOffice without the requirement for a cloud provider.
This idea is brilliant! I think I see a hint to matrix as a potential chat platform and would indeed use that myself, but it would be hard to convince people to use any new chat platform just for a single use-case. If you view suggestions here, I would recommend additionally implementing something like [Syncthing](github.com/syncthing/syncthing) or even a Tor hidden service. Both of these can be automated and don't require a hosted server. [Briar](code.briarproject.org/briar) has a good example of what I mean for tor and I think syncthing is self explanatory. There is also the wonderful project [Reticulum](github.com/markqvist/Reticulum), but you(LibreOffice) would probably need to host your own tcp relay for any sort of stability.
That would be great. Would be nice if it could work peer-to-peer/serverless and could resolve locally for situations where everybody is in the same LAN. Also, here is some inspiration from the past linutop.com/news/2009/02/09/co…

Also the possibility to join a Collabora Online session would be nice (it is sort of expected by users coming from Office 365).
Many thanks to the design community that worked on that.
