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. -Phil
