Can Gobby/Sobby be used for collaborative edition for a team of developers ?

Question

Hello,

Gobby/Sobby is an open source client/server for collaborative edition of plain text file (source code).

My question is 4-fold :

• Can you share any real-life usage of Gobby/Sobby for development among a group of physically separated developers ?
• Is the project mature enough as a productivity tool ?
• What are the working use cases ?
• What versions should be used ? (It seems 'undo' feature is not yet officially packaged)

Thanks Jerome

Answer 1

• Yes

• Mostly, you encounter issues running Windows clients (random crashes). Find a version that works and stick to it.

• I recently started using it with the team I manage. It has definitely increased my productivity when reviewing code, implementation collaboration, and answering general questions. It's great for those "hey, can you take a quick look a this?" questions.

• We have only used development release 0.4.93.
