[discuss] Using Open Office with a Web Browser
Sjefferies
I have been using Open Office, until I came across with
http://ooanywhere.com ooanywhere.com . This is a great way to use Open
Office I can run the applications with my web browser, I don't need to
download and install it.

Nowhere on that link could I find how much it costs to use, AFTER the
free 15 minutes. Typically, any company that isn't up front about their
pricing should be approached very carefully. Personally, I wouldn't
type ANY of my personal data on someone else's computer or to a location
I couldn't control.

Well, the original posting seems to be marketing anyway. Besides not
revealing their price model, I also could find who they are and where
they are. I would call this site suspicious.
Best regards,

Yes. Seems that "Sjefferies" is pretty enthusiastic about spreading the
ooanywhere.com word. One can only wonder if Sjefferies is tied to
ooanywhere.com, or is just a new user...

ok - that is all good and well, but someone had to give it a shot..and all
they wanted was an email address...
It was a mixed bag.
First - tried to run from FireFox 3 under Ubuntu 9.10 64bit...that didn't
work, the ooAnywhere server tried to install a package to the browser -
which failed to load. No real suprise there the 64bit part gets lots of
browser add-ons.
Second - tried FireFox using 32bit OpenSuse 11.1 - that prompted an error
message from ooAnywhere server that the configuration is not supported at
this time - it was a Java problem...yeah, yeah - OpenJDK isn't good
enough>????
Third - 32bit Windows 7 and Fire Fox 3.5...the ooAnywhere server installed
an add-on to the browser, no problem. Then launched the remote
session...actually much more responsive then I expected.
With only 15 minutes of time to play
- Tried a quick Writer file..just text, that worked.
- Tried to create a Base file....well, it did that - I could not actually
get the database to 'connect' from the remote session.
- After my time was up I copied the files created from the remote server to
the local machine...hey, real ODF files that work here.
No idea what these folks are going to need to charge, but my curiosity is
piqued.

now i`d visited this offer and drop any action:
why i should create login, before i know what i have for credits.
the ides may be works, but the privacy management is too low for my taste.
be well

Anyway - I see that RedOffice has also launched a web based offering of
OO.o, it appears from looking that only Writer is offered at the moment. It
also looks like there is going to be a fee there also...but not during the
Beta period at least.
As for the service here - after the 15 minutes it did show a price
list...hmmm, $25.00 for 60 hours of use...who knows, maybe there is a market
for this, at that price?

You were right, it was an oversight not to have pricing on the main
page. We've added it now. Thanks for your suggestions.
We're currently working on other issues mentioned in this thread as well.
