FWIW, SubEthaEdit has been doing this sort of thing on the Mac for a while: http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/collaborate.html It also relies on social engineering to avoid people typing over each other, although since it uses Bonjour/Rendezvous (the Mac's built-in zeroconf implementation), as does iChat (the Mac's built-in videoconf app), you're only a nicely-integrated click or two away from a text, voice or video link with your co-authors, which makes resolving conflicts that bit simpler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:SubEthaEditExtremeProgramming.png Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Desktop System Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
