CollabEdit lives!

Saturday, November 19th, 2005

Well, not exactly, but close enough.
I found Gobby project on GnomeFiles today and it seams that someone actualy went ahead and wrote a program that Ivan and I presented an implementation idea for to Google Summer of Code.
Gobby seams to be working in very similar way, but still lacks some of the features I find […]
