It seems to me that a collaborative editing feature in GNOME would be a really killer feature, but it should really happen in the applications that we all know and love. I would much prefer to use a GEdit, Abiword and ultimately OOo plugin to do this. What Gobby could offer is a library to handle this and a standard UI for establishing and maintaining connections. This would sacrifice Gobby for inclusion, but open the possibility for a general GNOME feature - Live Collaboration. I think this could be a really, really killer feature for GNOME. What is the likelyhood of the Gobby developers buying into this?
