Collaborative text editing
Marc Brierly from Stanford and I have been cleaning up the Sakai Style Guide CSS. We had a couple lengthy phone calls this week to go over the CSS file and make edits. What's great is that we were using SubEthaEdit to edit a CSS file on my laptop together. I could see Marc's cursor moving and editing, while I did the same. Some times we were editing the same line, and meeting in the middle. It's amazing how well it worked once we got warmed up.
Another thing that helped is that the files were stored in web accessible directory on my laptop, so we could both see the results of our edits in a web browser.
I still favor BBEdit for my day-to-day text wrangling needs, but SubEthaEdit rocked for this specialized need. Not bad for a free app that took about 90 seconds to download and install.
Now if there was only an app that would let me have Palo Alto weather here in Cambridge...
