This could be an efficient form of tutoring the newbie as well if they
could watch but not touch.

I suspect the creation of dynamic data might be a problem, such as
creating new Morphs.

One might want to treat the code in editable/highlightable "chunks" just
as the "tile" view in the browser does.

Also watch out for the "Tragedy of the Commons". One undisciplined soul
could spoil everything.

Cheers,
Darius

Yes, I think the proposed JabberingBrowser and Hydra are in a similar
space - I don't necessarily need to see everyone's text selection like
in
Hydra, but I'd like to be able to open a browser that tracks which
class/method someone else is looking at, and updates my code every time
they accept.

Somehow it seems like this could be the basis for a versioning system,
but
I'm fuzzy on exactly how it would work...
