Last week, I participated in a collaborative editing session using SubEthaEdit. For those who’ve not encountered at tool of this nature (in fact, is SubEthaEdit the only thing in its class?), the tool basically enables multiple people to edit the same text document in a networked environment in real-time. The networked environment can be anything from a LAN to the net to a fancy-pants RendezVous network. The effect is one of literally seeing multiple cursors on the page with everyone typing at once. It’s extremely cool.
Creates a hub containing all your cloud storage accounts and comes with built-in collaboration too. Aug 21st 2020, 20:55 GMT. 4,845 downloads; 108.2 MB. SubEthaEdit 5.1.4. A minimalistic-looking text editor that enables you to collaborate with your co-workers. Collaborative text editing systems allow users to concurrently edit a shared document, inserting and deleting elements (e.g., charac-ters or lines). There are a number of protocols for collaborative text editing, but so far there has been no precise specification of their desired behavior, and several of these protocols have been shown.
SubEthaEdit itself is promoted as a development tool. The idea is to enable two or more developers to team-program on the same file at once. As such, the final output of the session is a plain text file with all evidence of collaborative working removed. Of course, this is just what you need for team programming, but once you see a technology in action it’s very easy to grasp the possibilities. Throughout our session (which was part editing and part IRC-like chat), the group very quickly began to see the potential for collaborative editing in a broader sense, and the need for a ‘collaborative document format’.
Such a document format would record a lot more about the process of collaboration itself, and not just the output. With this format it would be possible to see who said what, and when. Imagine the possibilities for replacing face-to-face meetings with a collaborative editing session. When the outcome of the meeting needs to be a document, why not all work on the document together instead of talking about it? Such functionality would be killer in online-based organisations like the WaSP, as well as with traditional business.
Towards the end of the session, Michael and I lamented on the process itself, and made some observations:
I’m really excited about this technology at the moment, not only because it’s very cool but also because of the immediate, real-world uses it can be put to, especially for businesses. The only drawback, however, is a major one. It’s only available for OS X at the moment, which makes it next to useless in a business context. This product can be big – but it’s going to have to run on Windows first.
