I do find it useful to collaboratively edit a document. Nvertheless, I have not done it in real life. I suppose that when we have an onsite meeting, drafting on a table collaboratively would be the equivalent of drafting collaboratively on-line. Otherwise, the experience could loose even more of what on-site collaboration has. But again, this is not my use-case. _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
