Hi,
Reporting back after trying out shellshare in a workshop.
Summarizing: the initial setup in a virtual machine was almost
straightforward, the instructor could create a new "room" and about 20
learners and a few helpers could access the shellshare session
simultaneously and everything seemed to be working smoothly.
After a time (one, two hours? we are not sure) the instructor's machine
stop being able to connect to the created "room" anymore. Server seemed
ok, new sessions could be created without problems, but instructor
could not connect back to the original "room", to which of course
everybody had the link for, but stopped being updated.
We had a couple of people quite proficient with web servers etc. and we
could not sort out the problem on the spot. We suspected about some
kind of token which had expired or something on the lines.
As a side note, part of this lesson negative feedback was related to
shellshare stopping working, and even some suggestions where made about
how good was having a live "log" from the instructor's terminal. So
it'd great having this sorted out. I'll try to take a look at it.
Iñigo
