Productive Monday: Gobby - Collaborative editor

Gobby is a collaborative editor which enables multiple people to simultaneously edit a group of documents. It provides encrypted communication, on-the-fly server ("session") setup, multple document editing, connection password protection, syntax highlighting for popular programming languages, and an online chat facility. Text entered or edited by each user is highlighted in colour to indicate the source.

Gobby also enables cross-platform collaboration: MS Windows and (limited) Mac OS/X clients are available from the upstream website.

A reminder: Don't forget to open the appropriate ports in your firewall when setting up a Gobby server.

Installing from the command line: yum install gobby
Installing using the graphical installer: Applications > Editors > gobby
Menu location after installation: Internet > Gobby Collaborative Editor
Command: /usr/bin/gobby
Upstream website: http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/

Special thanks to Knight Walker for suggesting this package.
