 I'm leaving some feedback regarding the collaborative document editing
 features in Nextcloud, specifically the [wiki:OpenOffice OnlyOffice]
 features.

 I know that many of these things are not necessarily changes that can or
 will be made, but I want to be transparent about how this tool is working
 for me.

 I can see that the Grants group will likely need to lean on other
 collaborative tools in order to work on projects that are large and
 complex (grant requests that are many pages long with multiple documents)
 for the following reasons:

  * No ability to tag other accounts in comments that I can see or find. In
 my eyes, this is the biggest roadblock. Being able to work asynchronously
 on a document, tagging others in spots where their input is needed,
 knowing they will receive notifications, has been key to working across
 time zones with lots of people against deadlines.

  * Speed. For me, !OnlyOffice docs take 2-3 minutes to load per file.
 Working on one or two small documents, this is doable. For huge projects
 with multiple long/large documents, this may become difficult/impossible
 to manage.

  * To finalize documents for printing or saving to PDF, I need to download
 and then edit again in Word because certain features are not available,
 the biggest being that the Tor Project’s fonts are not
 supported/available.

  * No ability to do a word/character count that I can find. Critical for
 grants, most have word or character count requirements.

 I'm happy to have a convo, test more things, be told that the features I
 want actually exist and I've missed them ;D!
