Freenet creator Ian Clarke does interesting things with code on the weekends while the rest of us sleep/eat/watch the game. His latest is a large-scale collaborative document editing app. Ian explains:
3D17 is a website which allows collaborative
editing of documents. Consider the scenario – you blog about someone with some wrong-headed
ideas, and you want to write a response, but you would also like to
enlist the help of your readers. This is where 3D17 comes in, you go to
3d17.org, create a document, like this for instance,
and direct your readers to its URL. They can then suggest amendments to it, which other readers can then
vote on, and whichever wins will be applied to the document. Hey, presto!
Large scale collaborative document editing!
