From my previous post (earlier today): http://www.moonedit.com/indexen.htm I've, done some digging on it, and it's quite impressive. Up to 14 users editing the same file simultaneously, with all cursors visible (each user can have a different color). Add voice chat to it (Teamspeak, Skype, etc.) and it's quite powerful. It's a bit limited on the editing side, but it does allow customization including macros with key bindings. Not to mention, it seems quite new, announced some time in January I believe. nice article about it here: http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2005/02/20/synchronous_collaborative_text_document_editing.htm -- Bill Guindon (aka aGorilla)
