collaborate version 1.0

collaboration works… or at least part of it.

notes:

  1. carriage return doesn’t work (doesn’t show in other clients)
  2. backspace doesn’t work (other clients show an unkown character)
  3. letters work (both upper and lower case)
  4. haven’t tested other characters. although if uppercase letter works, then most probably characters that need the shift key would also work.

later…

ps.

messages sent in MUC are wrapped in <collaborate> </collaborate> tags (just to take the feel of having an xml-based app). to differentiate a chat message from a collaboration message, a type attribute is added. chat messages are of type “chat” while collaboration message (the one that goes in the collaboration area) are of type “work”. attribute will be expaned once the radar view feature and keyboard simulation feature is added.

    Coolness!

    Issue: how do you lock the file? Since this is a collaboration tool, if two or more users are typing and saving, which one is the latest? Also, if one is typing on a line and another is deleting the same line, what happens?

    Issue 2: have you interfaced with SVN yet? This might be your solution to the issue above. :)
