It would be nice to see some sort of XML “exploder/imploder” that would allow OpenOffice.org documents to benefit from this approach too. (I’ve often wondered why, with the open formats we champion, that hasn’t been done yet.) But hey, even text files would be a big step forward. Good luck with this Alban, it looks like a superb idea and long overdue. [...] […] This looks fascinating and exciting to me — collaboration across tools and systems using D-Bus and telepathy.

GObby lacks out on the Telepathy, but is a mean deal otherwise. I saw your post about an DBus interface for Vim, now that would be a godsend to anyone wanting to embed vim (like myself). I'd like to see if I could you help out. This would be amazing to have. GObby lacks out on the Telepathy, but is a mean deal otherwise.

Unfortunately, it isn't specified in detail. Kate's D-Bus interface org.kde.KTextEditor.Document seems to be the best starting point, see . Collaborative working isn't the focus there, though. I have some vague ideas for adding such an D-Bus interface to GNU Emacs, but I haven't started yet. Maybe we could join our efforts?

Then you would simply need to translate your editor's text commands into Obby commands, and a means of updating the buffer with remote changes. I'm not sure how much of this is doable as a pure editor plugin, without patching vim or emacs itself… Gobby’s code is reusable and handles all the conflict resolving and network stuff.

Can't wait to try it out. BTW, just to be nitpicky...the word you're looking for is "editing", not "edition". I was very confused when I saw your post's title show up in my feed reader.
