This is a SubEthaEdit template that was used at PyCon. Note-taking as an activity is something I find interesting, and a guide for doing so is kind of neat. When the guide is for multiple people simultaneously taking notes in a single shared document, then I get extra tingly. [via Ted Leung.]
P.S. When is one of our more ambitious emacs hackers going to write subethaedit.el?

Does "M-x make-frame-on-display" work for you?
Posted by: sean on July 28, 2004 02:47 AMM-x make-frame-on-display is similar, but rather constrained in comparison. see (subethaedit) will announce files that are available, automatically conenct to any host announcing files on the network (rather than inputing host:display for a known machine), then deal with some basic authentication/acess (if its necessary) as well as dealing with the actual exchange of blocks of text. it would be quite a cool hack to get emacs to communicate with exisiting see sessions using M-x subetha but i imagine it would be seriously hairy, involving a few layers underneath; see uses rendezvous (apple's zeroconf) as connection handling protocol and the byte exchange uses BEEP (rfc 3080) which offers a few obvious advantages over x11 for networked text exchange, see also handles multiple cursors and color=user mapping.
Actually, I was sort of kidding -- it would be easy to use emacsclient
and ssh to create an "inverse SEE" with many people submitting files
to be edited by one person, but the "shared emacs" is really sort of
a joke. I actually used it like this with about 3 people a few years
back, and quickly ran into limitations, the most memorable of which
was the fact that only one person at a time could use the minibuffer...
