An open web app for editing rich text documents

[Yoric]

This project is part of the ongoing Open Web Applications effort led by http://www.mozilla.org to liberate users from the closed, locked apps and app stores. Open Web Applications bring the power and the freedom of the web to desktops, tablets, cellphones.

The objective of this project is to implement an open web application for editing rich text documents (à la LibreOffice), with the following features:

• by default, everything is stored locally (e.g. to IndexedDB);
• export to standard formats (e.g. OpenOffice);
• no web connection required.

Compatibility with older browsers is not useful.

As all open web applications in this list, if the resulting application is awesome, it will made available on the Mozilla Marketplace and/or in Firefox OS.
