Hello!

I really wish I actually had time to play with Guix and really use it 
but I have such a time constraint, especially right now - so here I am 
just asking...

For our IT worker cooperative in preparation, one of my areas of 
interest is the realistic partial alternative to Google and Microsoft 
office suite, for a specific market segment.   (I think the huge 
limitation for Microsoft and Google is the very one-sided use agreement 
- they get to decide when to stop or start features and they generally 
have pay-as-you-go model that limits an organization to expand the offer 
rapidly to thousands of users, without making budgetary commitments 
first.  Also, they impose huge vendor-locks)

Has anyone here tried to build or assess the possibility of Guix package 
for OnlyOffice?

https://www.btactic.com/build-onlyoffice-from-source-code/?lang=en

OnlyOffice claims to be AGPL - but my sneaking suspicion is that once 
you open the box, you'll find all sorts of things like binaries, etc 
that cannot be compiled by us???   Just a wild guess.

Is this for an Office suite accessible throught the web browser?

I hadn’t heard of OnlyOffice before, so I don’t know.  But if you want
web access there may be a way to use the existing Office suite packages
and expose them through the browser.

GTK+ comes with broadwayd, which lets you use the browser to render the
GUI.  Here’s a quick example:

  guix shell gtk+:bin -- broadwayd :5 &
  GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 guix shell abiword -- abiword

Then visit http://127.0.0.1:8085/ in your browser.

Why not use Nextcloud office suite? It's designed to be used in cloud environment. [1]

Hi,

Yes, I know about NextCloud and yes, looking for an Online version.

I just thought OnlyOffice was looking better than LibreOffice and I have just tried its online version - it worked really well!

Although skepticism (defeatism?) abounds😅, there is a lot of interest in carving out some niche where we can outperform MS and Google. 

I think Enterprise Guix package management, packaging of business focused applications, deployment, monitoring, etc will get us there where we can survive and eventually thrive 😄

Let me also try the GTK trick for web browsers!  Never heard of it!!

Just so no one misses it - emacs also works if you use the 
emacs-next-pgtk package:

   GDK_BACKEND=broadway BROADWAY_DISPLAY=:5 guix shell emacs-next-pgtk -- 
emacs

Best regards,
David
