Real-time collaborative web-based online editor for academia
Fidus Writer is an open-source online editor that enables real-time collaboration among academic researchers. It supports exporting individual documents to various standard formats, but it lacks the ability to import and export document collections (books) to some of the most widely used formats, such as DOCX, ODT and JATS XML. This project aims to enhance the functionality and usability of Fidus Writer by adding import and export function for books (including tracked changes), as well as a generic pandoc export for documents, using the existing code base and infrastructure. This will allow Fidus Writer to reach a broader audience and increase its adoption in the academic community.
This project was funded through theNGI0 Entrust Fund, a fund established byNLnet with financial support from the European Commission'sNext Generation Internet programme, under the aegis ofDG Communications Networks, Content and Technology under grant agreement No 101069594.
