Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 1)

As an experiment, I've set up the following writeboard, which is a simple on-line collaborative editor, it's got a current version of the letter.

Other than we're not really in the habit of using it...

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

This seems lighter-weight. It seems worth a quick experiment.

It allows quick easy-to-see comparison of different drafts, which is good.

Great! That's a useful online tool, and your redrafting tightens up the whole text.

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

It looks useful for this sort of quick group edit: I just find the wikis a bit cumbersome.

Does Scoop support <object> or <iframe>? That would allow the current draft to be embedded in a comment or diary.

It could, though I'd have to think about the implications of that. However, it wouldn't help in this case because it's password protected.

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

Embedding youtube videos in diaries would be cool.

Is the allowed HTML set independently for comments and diaries?

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

Maybe I could create a YouTube macro that would do the job.

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

How about the possibility of embedding an ETWiki page?

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

Had a quick look, this is quite nice for writing collective papers. I tried a minor edit (moved "p.19" forward by one word, to put it before "debate", and put that in bold to show what I did).

It would be an even greater tool if edits could be voted on, could be closed/open (as +/- expansion zones) ...

Re: Consultation: Letter to Piebalgs (none / 0)

I don't think it'll work very well past quiet small documents but it looks good for them.
