<Maaz>
Current Topic: Education Project
[18:41:19]
<chesedo>
my update here would be the same as yesterday...
[18:41:44]
* chesedo
had a hectic day so have not looked at getting the sass issue solved yet...
[18:42:05]
<chesedo>
williamk: do you have a specific update?
[18:42:25]
<chesedo>
or maybe found another software to consider?
[18:43:04]
<chesedo>
also my 2 cents for only office, it looks great too but might be more of a general office suite...
[18:43:14]
<williamk>
Hi Chesedo, same as yesterday, Booktype, Pubsweet or OnlyOffice
[18:43:36]
<chesedo>
although it has project planning build in
[18:43:44]
<williamk>
Only Office, from what I read can do collab editing
[18:43:59]
<chesedo>
williamk: and that...
[18:44:26]
<chesedo>
williamk: i guess our next step is to try and get an instance of each up to test which will work best?
[18:45:13]
<williamk>
https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/onlyoffice-editors/onlyoffice-document-editor/helpfulhints/collaborativeediting.aspx

[18:48:53]
<chesedo>

[18:49:04]

[18:50:00]
<chesedo>

[18:50:16]
<chesedo>
it is the one that i am having sass issue with currently...
[18:50:43]
<chesedo>

[18:51:43]
[18:51:54]
<williamk>
I have installed Booktype locally ( access with IP, but could not get the export to PDF working
[18:52:16]

[18:52:16]
