Does anyone know of or have a recommendation for application(s) that perform the functions of Google Sheets, Docs and Forms that work in a cloud environment that could be utilized on our MESH system independent of the Internet?
We currently use Google Sheets for our ICS Forms - Registration, Logging, etc. for our EMCOMM Exercises and we would like to transition to something that would work the same that we can deploy on a MESH system - that doesn't rely on the Internet. This would have REAL WORLD applications should we lose the function of the Internet.

http://www.formtools.org might work, though it hasn't seen any major work in a while it does have a GUI for making forms that has been made free (use to be an add on)
I've even seen somone package a form on a website to a receipt printer for printing out orders or directions at established facilities. For the EOC or MOC a full blown printer (dot matrix is still useful) can be done to give full printouts in multi-copy and the digital version exists for working with.
We used a program called Filepro ( we used to sell it too ) and we developed all kinds of nice applications including a Medical Billing application, etc.
I haven't used or seen WEB EOC but is there a interface we could use?

When I'm not scratching around getting in over my head in other AREDN related arenas I've been doing a little reading on this general topic.
There appears to be a variety of various Linux distros and packages which can afford pretty much every common "Internet like" service in a Part 97 compliant, ".local.mesh" environment, bereft of access to the 'Internet'.
Adding spice to this dish is that an increasing number of useful 'services' are appearing that have been tuned to the recent RasPi 2 and 3 environments. This is the low cost, solar power comfortable, architecture that appeals more to me now than most of the others.
Gentle People, the two common challenges that repeatedly pop up when addressing '...what can we do with AREDN to accomplish (whatever it is that we want to accomplish?)', and 'we need to do A, B & C next month, how can we accomplish this?' are one and the same, i.e. how to effectively filter what is available to find the solutions best able to meet **your already clearly identified local needs**.
I think recent philosophers have identified the conundrum we benefactors of AREDN technology face as a "surfeit of riches", as it were.
Anecdotal opinion warning: So far RasPi based ownCLoud and Asterisk seem to be getting the majority of 'yes, this one is ideal' reactions but I'm a certified slothful and lazy researcher when operating under the influence of strong desire.
I'm going to devote at least a couple of hours a day whenever I can to reading these forums. "....therein lays the answer to my vision quest " said the dusty traveler.
