Collaborative Editing with Rendezvous: "Wei-Meng Lee, writing for the O'Reilly Network, examines two collaborative editing applications that take advantage of Rendezvous. Lee provides an overview of SubEthaEdit and iStorm."

Nice reviews!

SubEthaEdit is simple, yet powerful. For example, the web preview feature is a nice addition when you are editing HTML documents. However, BBEdit provides more features, and the price is not too steep.

But if you want a clue of just how clueless this case is, consider the constitutional arguments made by SCO." [Lessig Blog]
