Hi,
what do you think about Etherpad lite. It's based on node.js.
I used pads in several occasions and think they are quite handy.
Best regards,

Hi everyone,
Had some interesting discussion in the irc channel tonight about a rich
text editor and the possibility of real time collaboration just like
google docs. Just though I would share a few projects I came across that
could be really helpful in bringing these features to owncloud.
elad661 in irc mentioned that LibreOffice are now developing a web
version in HTML5. There is a video here:

elad also mentioned the backend behind google docs' real time
collaboartion which is 'infinote'. After some googling I came across a
javascript implementation of this: http://www.jinfinote.com/. Ok, so
it's in really early stages but it looks very promising. One downfall
however is that it relies on a backend programmed in C.
So while looking for alternatives I found a project called 'MobWrite' :
http://code.google.com/p/google-mobwrite/. MobWrite is good because it
relies on just a single php file for the backend. MobWrite is also a bit
further along with development.
Icewind also just added that an advantage of infinote is that there are
desktop clients that can integrate with it given a url of the server.
One idea is to use mobwrite by default as it can be included with
ownCloud without any fuss and then offer infinote as an 'app' so that
desktop clients can be used.
Anyway, if I get time this week I will try and proptype collaboration
with mobwrite in the current text editor but there is lots to do
regarding sharing/users/permissions....
Regards,
tpn
