For completeness, http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CollaborativeEditing describes collaborative editing possibilities in emacs. I tried Rudel just for fun, but couldn't get it to work, seems a bit rough around the edges. I guess multi-tty is the best method, similar to sharing a GNU Screen session (which would also work for collaboration in VIM or any terminal-based editor), but I think one would have to be very trusting of collaborators to do that... best regards, Kevin
