History: Tiki Suite files vs web

Should we focus only on web-based apps or should we also cater to desktop apps which manage files? (ex.: LibreOffice)

Reasons to focus on files

• A lot of legacy content
• Access to more powerful apps

Reasons not to focus on files

• Adds complexity of offline syncing
• App may not be available for all clients

If we do focus on files, how?

Files should live where the app lives

We focus on Virtual desktop infrastructure, accessible via a web browser or a client such as VNC client.

Files accessible via VPN
