"Editing documents in groups can be a challenge. Versioning systems like cvs or subversion can help your group to keep a consistent copy of your document, but don't go that extra mile. Wouldn't it be great to edit the same document, live, in realtime, together with everyone in your group?"

the editor Hydra, which just reveived an apple design award, claims to be made exactly for this – and for sure is looking interesting.

once upon a time i was involved in a project called hydra, too. just for some hedonistic nostalgy.
