I'm half-convinced they did this whole project just so they could call it COOL.

Collabora Online (COOL) is the company’s open-source solution for document editing and collaboration online and at scale. COOL provides a consistent, discoverable user interface (UI) designed with intuitive toolbars and a tabbed interface, which focuses on the tools most people use every day and enables current users to get their work done without clutter.

There is also Collabora Online Development Edition or CODE.

10/10 for their marketing team honestly

I bet it was done on purpose, to discourage companies and drive them to their paid services. Since it's purpose is to serve as a stable testing build.

At the next board meeting:

Our COOL numbers have risen 57% this quarter. Since the most recent update, we've also seen a significant bump in CODE usage.
