Very great discussion happening on more adoption of LibreOffice in educational and otherwise places.

Yes, the title is stranegly worded, but I did want to share a productive thread happening on the Accessibility email list for LibreOffice.

You can read the thread at https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/accessibility/msg01038.html

It's the dominant open source competitor. I think Google's office suite would be their largest overall.

@rkw_social @MacroCyclo I think so as well, yes. LibreOffice is the most maintained FOS solution to Microsoft Word. Microsoft has a billion times better accessibility support, but then again, big tech is always lightyears ahead of accessibility support, sadly! Still, I hope that tide is shifting.
