 Hi,
 
 I'm not the author of gobby[1], but I'd like to hear thoughts on whether
 gobby should be proposed for inclusion in Gnome 2.14.  Gobby is a
 collaborative text editor using GtkSourceView/GTK 2.6, with external
 dependencies of libgmp, gtkmm and libxml++.  There are two libraries
 that are maintained by the gobby authors used: libobby and libnet6.
 
 Collaborative editing is an application many people don't seem to have
 realised is possible with their computers; I think having it available
 such that two GNOME users can easily start a collaborative session
 together would be massively beneficial.

I am just now updating inkscape and looking at it, it has a completely
different implementation of Inkboard Collaborative Editing: Using
Loudmouth library it uses Jabber IM protocol to provide this feature.

And IMHO it is the way to go: there are many problems to overcome (like
NAT and firewalls traversal, identification, crypto) that have been
resolved by Jabber, and will have to be reimplemented by Gobby
(especialy when you realize that collaborative work often require an IM
solution alongside).
