Really-real-time editing and chatting
« on: May 24, 2010, 03:12:40 pm »
Google bought-out the developing team of etherpad www.etherpad.org to further develop its own googledocs and (interestingly enough) released the "before purchase" code as open source.  8)

I'm currently installing it under a tab, but I believe it would require a better integration in FO to be a real success (access credentials et all)

Interesting features:
Open and/or protected documents (perhaps we could use this feature to protect documents on a workspace basis and leave the open for all)
Chat Pad. It seems as in protected documents it is by-invitation-only, which could be a cool feature to have.

Drawbacks
Installation requires a good amount of tweaking on the linux server so perhaps having it as part of FO requires some additional steps/tools ???

BTW:
I called mine SharePad ...  :D

This would be an awesome feature!

- This [and calendar sync] is what would make FO the Collaboration Platform of choice

any news?
