Nextcloud Hub II will include Office, P2P backup, etc.

Some news, as per https://cloud.nextcloud.com/s/zWRJ6xA8x88eiWw, inter alia:
Nextcloud Hub II introduces Nextcloud Office, developed in collaboration with Collabora Productivity. With an improved user experience and visual integration come also features like availability of Draw, a business-focused vector graphics and data visualization app, improved compatibility with proprietary document formats and more. Performance was another focus, with a lower bandwidth usage and server load resulting from the development work.
The Nextcloud desktop, Android and iOS clients coming with this release come with support for Unified Search, User Profiles and User Status on all platforms. The Android app also introduces calendar backup/restore and an improved video player for streaming. The iOS app comes with native media integration and picture-in-picture. The Desktop Client now supports End-to- end encryption with the Virtual File System on Windows and introduced a dialog to resolve file name issues. Various user interface improvements including an enhanced activity dialog with file activity and sync status/progress as well as support for directly sharing files to a Talk conversation or email address complement the Desktop Client release.
It will be interesting to see whether and how limited the integrated Office suite is.

BTW this is also the release announcement for NC 23 (i.e. "Hub II"):

yes given the experience in the past, we will at least wait for the first patch release to make a 23 package. This gives the Nextcloud apps/plugins a chance to become compatible.
@nebulon said in Nextcloud Hub II will include Office, P2P backup, etc.:
first patch release
I'd even go for that + 1 week or something (based on recent experience of the patch release not being any good either)

Definitely a good idea - seems to be a buggy release: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/nc23-how-to-enable-nextcloud-office/128267
