The Community/Enterprise language is confusing, if you don't know the backstory. A big chunk of actual development of LibreOffice is done by a company called Collabora, that is also selling LibreOffice-based products for mobile and for cloud. https://www.collaboraoffice.com They seem to be the major contributor to LibreOffice Online (even still have their logo there?). Which is actually including the iOS and Android apps. https://github.com/LibreOffice/online On actual LibreOffice proper, which they call "LibreOffice Core", they seem to have 30% of commits, with RedHat also 30%.

For those interested here is the github repo for the main parts of this solution: https://github.com/LibreOffice/online I've been following this pretty closely, the loolwsd and loleaflet are the server and client component, but you need to have a user (authentication) system on top of that for collaborative editting which can be anything. Collabora is the main driver behind this project (LibreOffice Online) and has already provided a beta vmdk (based on OwnCloud for the user part) some time ago: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/code/
