Kotype is a web-based collaborative real-time editing server. Kotype was funded by NLnet foundation and developed by KO GmbH. The Kotype web editor enables authenticated and non-authenticated users to work together in real-time on a (set of) document(s), hosted on a server of their choice. It offers basic formatting of text, as well as annotations. Documents can be exported as ODT or, using an external service like e.g. installable with the Format Filtering Server, in PDF, DOC, DOCX, and other formats. Note that not every feature of every office application may be rendered correctly inside the web editor, and certainly not all are editable. That said, unless you deleted parts of the document, everything will show up in the original application without information loss. Kotype is built around the OpenDocument Format standard - so it does not have to import your documents into some internal memory representation. The application natively supports the ODF file format container, and adding new capabilities can be done incrementally. Kotype uses the Wodo.CollabTextEditor component from the WebODF project for the web client and Node.js and MongoDB on the server. For further requirements see the files package.json and bower.json. If you miss key features or like what you get with every type of freedom you can possibly imagine - please support Kotype and the WebODF project with your coding skills, donate some money or grab a paid license.
