name = Gobby
Gobby is a Free Software Collaborative Real-time Editor available on Windows and Unix-like platforms. It is confirmed to run on the Mac OS X platform, albeit not natively but using Apple's X11 instead. It was initially released in June 2005 by the 0x539 dev group. Currently on version 0.3.0 it features a client-server architecture which supports multiple documents in one session, document synchronisation on request, password protection and an IRC-like chat for communication. Users could choose a colour to highlight the text they have written in a document. Gobby is fully Unicode -aware, provides syntax highlighting for most programming languages and has basic Zeroconf support. A dedicated server called Sobby is also provided, together with a script which could format saved sessions for the web (e.g. to provide logs of meetings with a collaboratively prepared transscript). Version 0.4.0, to be released in mid of April 2006, will feature Fully Encrypted connections and further usability enhancements. EXTERNAL LINKS
