A quick note that another engineer mentioned to me an experimental plugin for Sublime <http://www.sublimetext.com/> that does remote pair programming. Sublime is released under a "You can try it forever, but please buy a license code if you like it." license and runs on OSX, Windows, and Linux. Tutorials: <https://tutsplus.com/course/improve-workflow-in-sublime-text-2/>. They'll get you started (especially with plugins). <https://tutsplus.com/lesson/multiple-cursors-and-incremental-search/> is especially persuasive, I'm told. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
