SynchroEdit Web-based Word Processor Allows Multiple Simultaneous Edits
Very interesting synchronous editor. Allowing multiple people to edit a document at the same time has been an intractable problem, and one that affects lots of collaborative editing efforts. Whiteboard-style apps let people draw on the same space, but actual editing has been impossible. Haven't had time to play with this yet, but it's the one new web-based word processor that has caught my eye. [via The Social Software Weblog]SynchroEdit, a browser-based simultaneous multiuser editor
Or, yet another collaborative AJAX word processor. SynchroEdit is focused specifically on multiple simultaneous edits, which pushes it farther toward the SubEthaEdit / JotSpot Live end of the continuum from something like Zoho Writer, which seems more geared towards asynchronous collaborative editing. A couple of interesting features set SynchroEdit apart – the editor window depicts each user’s changes in a different color, so you can clearly see who has edited what, plus the interface marks the area a user is currently editing with a colored flag and their name. These two features would be really handy for knowing both who’s doing what currently, as well as who contributed which bits over time.
The SynchroEdit team has been led by Christopher Allen and Kalle Alm, with backing from Socialtext and the Bainbridge Graduate Institute. It’s in a stable alpha release right now, with plans for a full open source release later this fall.
