I can't help but notice that this, in effect, establishes collaboration between EU and Russian devs over a common open-source office suite, because both projects can easily copy future changes from each other. The irony is staggering, given the war and the public rhetoric.
Why the mention of Russian developers?
Why are we still focusing on docx so much? Is anybody printing these at all? If not, I have to assume people are putting information in a big free text field, arranging the text like they sit at a type writer, and then other people have to extract the information from the same free text field. There has got to be a better solution for whatever people are trying to achieve with documents.
Who is funding development of it?
In fact, there will be a plugin on day one. There are others
I have requested [1] the source of the CEF binary for at least two times, with no luck.

https://github.com/Euro-Office I’m not familiar with the project, but can anyone clarify what it means that it’s not intended to be used standalone and instead built into other projects? What’s the intention / expectation?
The project's FAQ are kinda enlightening: https://github.com/Euro-Office#faq Your question is somewhat answered there: "What is Euro-Office?", "How does Euro-Office compare to IONOS Workspace, office.eu, the Proton productivity suite, Nextcloud Hub or XWiki?" However especially "Why was a new office suite needed" is telling. True EU sovereignty spells: the only requirement is, it must work "greatly" with MS. Oh well,…
Ensuring that you can do exactly that means the barrier for switching is significantly lower.

It doesn't seem like a pleasant, bilateral collaboration since Russian developers do not seem pleased about the Euro-Office initiative.[0] [0]: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE#%EF%B8%8F-legal-note

In other words you must use our logo and you must not use our logo. Good luck enforcing that.

Yes, but they can't do anything about it anyway. The FSF resolution on this matter, though, essentially means that they might just as well pull Euro-Office patches into OnlyOffice. So in the end, the product will be formed by combined effort.
