hello.
how many folks are using emacs?
( especially, xemacs. i'm not sure if the following package will work on
gnu|fsf-emacs )
( exhibit a : )
`egret'.

<excerpt>
We are pleased to announce public distribution of Egret, a framework
for computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) applications.
<elipses/>
Egret clients and agents are implemented by a 15 KLOC extension
to XEmacs, the X-window Emacs editor.

<excerpt>
AEN supports collaborative hypertext document construction.
The goal of AEN is to explore the requirements for
"strong collaboration" ,
a style of group work diametrically opposed to
the traditional technique of "divide and conquer"

also, "flashmail" looks interesting ( also listed in the gallery )
... not meaning to implement any un-necessary functionality, but i'd like to
give egret a try on the doc-work , and a one-user implementation might defeat
the purpose, and might bury and of the postivive points about egret, aen , * .
and we need to figure out a way by which everyone will feel like they're getting
a fair share of what profits might come from software-sales of OSS.
income is an encouragement, and it keeps the juice going.
