Gobby, a cross-platform collaborative editing environment

is reminiscent of SubEthaEdit but will work in a mixed environment of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other UNIX flavors (SubEthaEdit is Mac only). It's a collaborative editing environment in which multiple authors on the same network can collaborate on text documents. Gobby also sports an IRC-like chat environment for communicating in realtime outside of the coding or authoring session. Each author can use a unique color to identify their contributions to the text. The app is only at version 0.2.2, so don't be too surprised if it's a little rough around the edges -- but the cross-platform aspect of this is definitely a step in the right direction.
