[Squeakland] collaborative uses

Hello,

I was just curious if there are any existing collaborative possibilities with Squeak? This is a very open-ended question, I realize, but I'm interested in any/all aspects of it. Well, I'm not into multiuser gaming. I am curious about the possibility of squeakers being able to, say, obtain/display data from online instruments. Or being able to build up a regional/national database of (local) measurements - similar to the "plot of temperatures" figure in Alan Kay's "Computers, Networks and Education" paper?

More on the tech side, are protocols such as XML-RPC supported in Squeak?

thanks, Randy
