My god, this is so dumb!
Let me explain because this is so typical of the French public service called: "DINUM" .
They find a good idea of a needed service for the public administration : cloud drive service, IM, DNS, office suite, collaborative suite...
They recreate the thing from 0 or combine foss bricks while slapping a sticker on it instead of funding (in the case of small projects and NGO's) or even paying already existing European companies for the service.
Then there is one more Foss project/ one more competitor to private companies. It's a pure waste of public money and it is annoying as hell.
They are killing the Foss/European cloud space by just building redundant things instead of strenghtening the whole ecosystem by helping out/ funding it.
They have the technical expertise and the money many projects need and just waste it on projects that excite the Foss/sovereignity spheres for a month then become abandonware.
Did a good Foss alternative exist? Libre office doesn't count. I'm talking about a notion/docs alternative like this seems to be.
Affine is one, there are others. The important thing here is about helping already existing projects rather than remaking from scratch.
Nextcloud comes to mind, it is foremost a collaborative suite and is already used by the French interior ministry and partially by the French education ministry.
Why isn't libreoffice an option? Nextcloud does allow online editing through libreoffice.
I wasn't aware how far along nextcloud is when it comes to collaborative stuff. In that case I agree, it would be better to have one good integrated product, than multiple niche ones.

It's ok bud reading can be exhausting especially when people don't use paragraphs. Take a break, close your eyes, and maybe in a few hours you can come back to it.
