Implementing an open source online collaborative office suite
I hate the fact that there are no open source alternatives for online document, spreadsheet and presentation editing. Google Docs is good, and free, but it is proprietary and not open source and cannot be used from within other applications.

I am willing to donate some of my time to developing a free and open source, java script based, online office suite that could be used to easily implement word processing ability in existing apps. This suite will have the ability to read/write OOXML format, and allow multiple people to edit a document at the same time (like https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite)

Instead of starting from scratch, I am looking for a starting point. Are there any foss applications out there which can provide a good starting point for such a project? Where can I find other people who would be willing to work on such a project?
