Interestingly enough, we just set up a testing infinoted server on KDE infrastructure to test the possibility of using Kobby for KDE promo needs instead of the proprietary web apps we're currently using (hello, google docs!)
the biggest thing we're facing right now is user control, both in kobby (where i can't see who's editting with me, for instance) and (much more importantly) in infinoted where user management/control seems pretty non-existent? great to hear kobby is getting some fresh hands, however. and it would be GREAT if collaborative editing could make it into other places such as katepart (imagine! plasmate with collaborative editting! woo!). looking forward to what you get up to with kobby!
I just added a ticket to keep user access/control on the to do list. In the devel branch you should be able to see who is currently joined to a document, this just wasnt enabled in Beta 3.
I pulled as much code as possible into a supporting library (libqinfinity) when making the editor, so integrating infinote into a katepart should be very doable. Dont hesitate to ping on kobby@googlegroups.com with any info on how the testing is going - its always helpful!
Access control is planned for the 0.5 cycle of libinfinity. I hope to get 0.4 out of the door still this year and then get hands on this.
Awesome! As Aaron just said we've been discussing trying to help test this application on the promo list. You've got my email from the comment here. Please drop me a line so we can discuss
Does it work on other distributions besides (K)Ubuntu, or is it a special development to enhance Mark's distribution's appeal?
