Gobby - It's very cool, but it is another text editor (albeit one with a<br>significant twist). I think collaborative editing would be worth<br>included as plugins to Gedit or AbiWord, but I'm not sure it justifies
<br>another text editor.</blockquote><div><br>I think gobby is something I'd really like to start playing with. Its not quite there yet, but it needs more people using it to get it where it needs to be.<br><br>On the text editor front, I'd really like to see at least emacs-nox included in the same way that vim-minimal is (or at least in base). I don't suggest including the graphical bits but its a real pain falling back to vim when X doesn't start. It seems like a pretty obvious package to include since it is one of the most popular text editors available.
