I don't particularly see the problem with Libre office. But then they talk about collaboration and we've had that in the form of wikis for over 20 years, so I struggle to think what else this, as yet undefined, new thing needs to do.

I'm kind of surprised they're thinking in terms of software rather than file formats though. Software choice is a good thing. Lock in to a file format, even if technically open, isn't a good thing.

"they're thinking in terms of software rather than file formats" where do you get that from? It's a longer article because it's a complex topic, but we explain in detail how the format it the core issue, and conclude that plain text (especially compared to the now common irrational .docx) would in fact be the preferable, future proof format.
