Well, if you count the ability for a document to be checked out by a
team member and marked as such until checked in, then yes. Plus,
workflows can be developed to extend this kind of collaboration.

But, if you're thinking of a tool that lets several people work on a
doc - within LibreOffice Writer, for example - and have edits
incorporated into a document from several contributors working in
parallel, then Alfresco does not go that far for the moment.

There is a dormant plugin project on Alfresco Forge for OOo that
allows/allowed something somewhat akin to this, although it is still
at an early stage of development. I've been in contact with Jeff Potts
of the Alfresco project to see if we can't revive development of this
plugin, and a phone meeting is planned to take place sometime next
week. One of the LibreOffice devs should be attending the meeting, as
will the original project admin, as will I, and the idea is to see
where the code base is at, and what can be done about getting things
rolling again so that we get it functional for LibreOffice. So maybe
we'll have some news about that soon? It would be interesting
functionality.

Does this answer your query?
