Gobby is a free and open source collaborative cross-platform real-time editor. It was realeased in June 2005.
I has an included chat that has very much an irc taste and a collaboratively editable document, MoonEdit taste. Every gobby can host a session. A standalone server, like on MoonEdit and in use with the ting-wiki is rudementary existant but is not fully implemented.

MattisManzel 22:06, 15 Jun 2005 (CEST): Finn and me tested gobby yesterday, very cool. The chat is very irc'ish, maybe it is even possible to conjuct gobby with irc somehow. Everybody can host is cool too, burt the standalone server not yet working is still un-cool. MoonEdit on win has typing sound (which I love) and a magnificient history (wich I love as well). That chat on gobby can't be saved I fear, and it has not sound. But it is o p e n s o u r c e! Yeah!
When obby is compiled with --enable-tests, you get a bufferd binary in the tests/ subdirectory. It is a server which fully implements the obby server protocol. It is only not suitable for mass usage as it lacks proper command line options etc. As far as we know it should work to use it to host a dedicated obby session.
thanks for that information,then i will try to install that for mattis's today. mattis, you said until thursday,right? mutante 08:01, 16 Jun 2005 (CEST) Is there a way to save the chat sessions as plain text to server ?
not as far as I know. the session is saved as plain text without the chat-session. Finn 08:24, 16 Jun 2005 (CEST)
