Hi all,
I just came up again with an idea that has been spinning around in my
head for quite some time now (years).
I would like to see an editor be able to let multiple people on multiple
sessions edit the same document updating one another's screen while they
type (character level) or at least line level.
I see this from the very practical level because I would just have a
need for this in the lab where a group of 10-20 people independantly
write Java code using Eclipse. They only synchronize over CVS (as most
people seem to do nowadays).
Some months ago I saw a very simple editor built on top of Apple's
Rendezvous but I can't find it at the momen.
While looking through the Tools and Technologies section of Eclipse.org
I noticed Koi. If I got everything correct then using the technology
presented here it should be a lot easier to implement such functionality
- the hard work would be interfacing the editor itself.
Is this correct or am I on a completely wrong track?
Regards
Philipp
