Yes, that is the Inkboard I refered to, but it is a collaborative GUI *SVG* editor from what I can see so far. I haven't found anything about additional text editing capabilities in any of the documentation or mail lists. As far as I know Inkscape only allows editing of SVG files, so unless it is an additional feature of the Inkboard code I don't think we will be able to open and work with regular xml files in it. > > Inkscape is a cool tool, collaborative editing with it would be killer. I agree and this is definitely something to keep an eye on but I don't think it is going to be a code editor like we need. Also, for those who are interested the Inkboard component uses Jabber for the sessions so you will need a Jabber account to use it. - Addi > > [For those interested, Cocoon is having a similar discussion for use at > the forthcoming GetTogether] > > Ross
