Hi,

Is there any collaborative text editing application available for django.
Has anybody tried with etherpad(www.etherpad.org) along with django?

Please reply,
Thanks in advance,
Anoop

I like eric5 for this, it's python 3.x though. But great collabrotive tools involved, including a chat server and issue tracker.

Gobby is another, but his is more general purpose than coding.

I've also seen screen + [vi|emacs|nano] for collaboritve coding on the server side.

As for etherpad nope, never have bothered, never heard of it till now ftr.

Hi Mike,
I think you miss read me. I mean an application to put in the website, not for coding on desktop. A collaborative text editor within the site, some pre-built django apps.

Any ideas?

regards,
Anoop

I'm very curious to know the use case for this kind of editor. I'm using HG and GIT to manage merging and I'm quite happy with those.

Sorry, in that case nope, not really. Just some things like cometd/orbited (or hookbox) and javascript framework to build one. But nothing complete or in existance.

If you'd start building it - I'd be collaborating.

I was looking into doing this too! Ethereal is written in java so we
either need to port the code or use jython. Hookbox would be a good
alternative.

If anyone has done 'multiplayer' in Google docs or spreadsheet then
they will see the value of this app

If it were me, I would look into using "orbited".  We've used it for doing real time plotting of data using django.  I'm not sure how it scales though...

Not all code is a part of bigger infrastructure, but here it is: pair
programming in jsFiddle (which is a django project).

@piotr zalewa:
jsFiddle is of course a nice
Is jsFiddle open source?? I couldn't find its source anywhere.
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=183790024998&topic=14241

So, friends,
This etherpad is in comet (java) and can anyone tell how to integrate etherpad, keeping it as it is, with other django apps???
Some iFrame ideas??? Please file-in your views.
Is that a really bad idea???

regards,
Anoop

This is off-topic - http://groups.google.co.uk/group/jsfiddle-users
Current version has a very ugly code - proof of concept style - it is
partially available, however the (in progress) beta is a complete rewrite.
