    A pilot phase with 38 ministry employees kicked off last year to trial Collabora's suite with Office documents. However, this trial was terminated when elections took place earlier this year. A spokesperson confirmed that the experiment had concluded, and would not resume again. They also confirmed that no evaluation benchmarking Collabora's performance against Microsoft Office had taken place either.

    Huh. Politically/Lobby motivated? I hope there'll be a follow-up.

    The formatting issues mentioned are yesteryear's news, and since other institutions succesfully made the switch they clearly are solvable. My guess is that MS does this deliberately anyhow.

    While no evaluations were conducted for this pilot, there were reports late last year that the officials were running into formatting issues such as blank pages when opening Office documents in Collabora and vice versa.

    MS Office document importers need to have similar backing as Valve did with Proton. Hopefully Euro Office gets it.

    Importing works fine, issues arise after one person exports from LibreOffice, another edits with MS Office, and they repeat a few iterations of that. I thinking changing an office suite is many times more difficult than changing an OS, and am kinda hopeless about interoperability, but I also hope Euro-Office gets major funding from countries to give it a try.

    Importing works fine

    Quote says that it literally does not. The "and vice versa" bit of the quote is about both directions not properly working.

    Tests for that can be automated since 15 or so years ago. Doesn't even need any Claude or something.

    The flow of bribe money and favors not continuing might be a problem for some, but I would not categorise it as a "technical" one.

    The Orange Moron has swallowed the old Greenland deal presented to him as new, everyone! Please continue consuming at your regular rate and do not worry at all that he'll return for more at a later point in time.

    //Edit: ffs! Within minutes of posting this, the following headline pops up in my feed: Trump falsely asserts that Denmark had given the US Greenland at a campaign rally in Georgia

    So, Denmark... I suppose the tests resume on Monday, right?
