Gobby- Document Collaboration Software

Gobby runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows.  It provides similar functionality to Google docs from what I can tell.  This tool is  used for realtime document collaboration when editing.

Features

  • Each user has its own changeable colour to be identified by others
  • IRC-like chat for communicating with your partners while coding
  • Syntax highlighting for most programming languages
  • Session password protection
  • Multiple documents in one session
  • Drag'n'drop of documents into Gobby
  • Document synchronisation on request
  • Zeroconf support
  • Unicode support
  • Cross-platform: runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (albeit not natively) and other flavours of UN*X
  • Gobby is free software and licenced under the GPL 2
