@humanhorseshoes I am not aware of any data collection on our site.
if you are referring to the subscription to the newsletter, there is a consent box, and you are redirected to the website of nextgraph.org that does contain a Privacy Policy.
If something is missing, please let us know@elfa @humanhorseshoes ELFA, your responses seem reasonable to me, but apparently it might be a good idea for you to include such a policy on your site if for no other reason than to give less ammunition to naysayers.

@elfa is that the same European Commission that wants to break end-to-end encryption?

@xavez no it is not the same one.

@SteveFoerster @humanhorseshoes We are working on it and if naysayers would just wait few more hours, they would find it there. Doing our best! Thanks for your support !

Just hope you actually develop it on thing like @Codeberg (or your own @forgejo), and upload binary / docker on an EU server.
And not use Microslop Github and other US crap

@lexinova For sure! (as already explained in another post earlier today. self-hosted Forgejo it will be. just didnt have time to install it. Hosted in Europe yes. The GitHub is just a placeholder for a read-only mirror) we see it eye to eye

@elfa Cool! Updates on the progress and coming releases here?

@marco_m_aus_f Yes! Don't expect anything ready to test before several months from now though.

@elfa great news, looks like Iβve finally passed over to the sensible timeline!

Hi @Frost, and thank you for your interest in ELFA! There are several existing alternatives that are readily avaialble. NextCloud is one of them. Those suites lack for now some important features: federation, end-to-end encryption, local-first and CRDTs. And we will be very happy to work with them to provide them access to those features. ELFA is an open platform looking for interoperability and convergence with other solutions. We are open to talk with NextCloud for collaboration!
@elfa thanks for the explanation!

@elfa @nextgraph @ironcalc @blocknote @AnanasTeknik @ontola @xwiki @uradotdesign @danubetech @xrhf @nlnet Will it be built from scratch? Or upon @CryptPad and OnlyOffice existing projects?

Good question @sumek !
The suite of apps we are building is distinct from CryptPad and OnlyOffice.
It is not built "from scratch" because each partner in the consortium is bringing its work. Years of previous development is being gathered and assembled.
@CryptPad is also with us because they will develop interoperability with our network, so their apps are compatible with our apps. For now OnlyOffice integration is not planned. We have @ironcalc for spreadsheets and @blocknote for text editor. -
