OpenGoo or  Open Source Web Office is an open source web office which allows you create, publish, share and collaborate documents. Currently, it allows you to create text documents, spreadsheets (coming soon), presentations, Task Lists, E-mails, Calendars, Web Links, and Contacts.

OpenGoo is a server application which requires you to install a localhost server like XAMP or WAMP. Or, if you want to install it in a server, you need to have Apache 2.0+,  PHP 5.0+ (5.2+ recommended), and MySQL 4.1+ with InnoDB support.

Trying out OpenGoo, the Open Source Web Office

There are building 2 distinct solutions:

• a system to support simultaneous editing of Word documents
• a cross platform WYSIWYG editor for docx Word documents (which you can try right now)

Both solutions rely on docx4j, our package for creating, opening, editing and printing OOXML docx (WordprocessingML) files in Java.

The projects are related, in that you can use docx4all to collaborate on Word documents. Or you can use it standalone.

For more details about the project, please click here. And if you want to try it, download it from here.

Hisham El-Emam, CEO of ZoooS LLC, said “ZoooS Office looks exactly like OpenOffice.org 3.0, using the same icons, dialogs, and help text — everything to eliminate the learning curve. Many companies want to access their files from any location and any device, but they don’t want to store confidential files in the cloud. Companies can run ZoooS Office locally to maintain complete control over their files while still providing local and remote access from PCs, laptops, mobile devices, and even game consoles.”

ZoooS Office is not yet available until their public release which is scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2008. It will be out by then as a Mozilla XULRunner version, a Firefox plug-in, an Opera widget, and an intranet server. Supports to other environmenta nd browsers will follow.
