I think this is a good idea, though it might be tricky in practice.

One reason I got interested in FreeRIDE was I had the idea for a
pair-programming editor (about 2.5 years ago).

Curt said it would be easy to implement, but it has never been
added to FreeRIDE yet.

But if I had a practical way to communicate, I'd love to collaborate
on some stuff.
