"gobby" does concurrent edits to the same file over a network. Not sure on the limitations, I had a play once, it is interesting. It looks cool, but I think locking/conflict resolution has advantages over collaborative editing, so something like mediawiki (and other CMS tools - Drupal has a book tool I believe) have many of the advantages. Often it is better to break the document up, or have tools that manage documents at a finer grained level, than trying to edit large monolithic documents between a bunch of people. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
