My understanding is that this would require all users to use X forwarding and be using the Emacs installed on a single machine. This is not what I mean... I want to be able to use my Emacs, with my settings, on my machine, editing the file on my machine. > However, for actual colloboration, I think it better to decouple the > working versions via CVS or a similar version control system: that > way people retain consistent copies. absolutely, i use both SVN and CVS... but these tools are for version control and syncing versions, not real time collaborative editing of the same file at the same time. They only realistically allow one person to edit a file at a time. The situation I am finding myself in is when 2 -> 5 people wish to edit the same document at the same time, and see everyone else's changes appear in realtime. Is such a setup even possible in Emacs?
