My idea with Ebby was to make it compatible with gobby since I did not
have the time or knowledge necessary to write a server or design a
protocol. But this may not be the case with others who want to work on
collaborative features.

I feel the network effects of being able to interact with users of other
editors are valuable, but if others feel there are good reasons to start
from scratch I won't protest.
