I just want to ask whether I understand how Abicollab works:

Users run the free Abiword software on their own computers. And rely on abicollab.net to host the file.

Is Abicollab therefore free, and not sass? Is there any downside to relying on Abicollab to host the file?

I'm not familiar with the service, but it sounds like it facilitates collaboration on a single document. Is that correct? If it is, this is a job that your own computer can't do on its own, and therefore the service is not SaaSS.

I wouldn’t agree with that. If a group of people wants to collaborate on a document, especially if this document is a private one, they better use their own service, so they have control over it.

That may be, but it's still not SaaSS.
