Fiduswriter is an online collaborative editor for academics who need to use citations and formulas. It is easy-to-use and allows a group of users simultaneous editing of documents in the browser. The software is open source at https://www.fiduswriter.org/ and TUM have installed their own instance on a LRZ server at https://fiduswriter.tum.de/. The Fiduswriter editor focuses on content rather than the layout and does not require coding or typesetting. In contrast to your familiar Microsoft Word editor, Fiduswriter is a semantic editor and does not accommodate substantial formating. So you cannot change font size or text justification or typesetting in general. Should you want to change the layout in Fiduswriter, it is possible to change the style - this can be done with style sheets and more advanced users can produce their own style with the style editor. The learning curve for Fiduswriter is shallow but a number of video tutorials about Fiduswriter and the Zotero reference manager are listed below to get new users going even quicker:
