Taking Collaborative Notes at BlogTalk

Started by Stephanie Booth · 10 months ago

A detailed write-up of the collective note-taking operation we ran at BlogTalk. We took notes together using SubEthaEdit and then posted them to a wiki so that they can be further annotated. The story, and questions this experience raises for me. ... Continue reading »

    Any possibility that thing is published for non-Mac users? Why do Mac users have all the cool tools?

    Picture this I made a screenshot of the notetaking, so you can have a look, and I was part, too :)
    @ JJ: The "Coding monkeys", the group writing SubEthaEdit said in an intervierw, they won't port it, since they don't write windows-programms. So you have to buy a mac :)

    Our school (The Universitz of British Columbia) is a huge wireless network. Unfortunately the entire wireless part of the network makes up one big subnet. This renders the notion of 'place' quite useless and I can find people all over the campus. It would be great if we could specify one subnet per physical space (or classroom). Once we get this, we will likely see great changes in the interactions possible in our learning spaces.

    You description of this process was very similar to what emerged using Hydra (and then SubEthaEdit) at the O'Reilly ETech '03 and '04. Here are the links to the collections of notes which I gathered from both:

    Also, O'Reilly ran a Wiki to gather notes from people, whether they were collaborative or not:

    Yes, I'd love to see a RendezVous enabled VoodooPad. Then we really would have InstantWiki!

    Is anyone aware of any Windows applications similar to SubEthaEdit or VoodooPad ? ? ?

    Hi Stephanie,

    I have used SubEthaEdit with a colleague for collaborative document creation and have referenced it here in this posting: http://www.troyangrignon.com/blog/_archives/200...

    It was okay, but the biggest headache was not having rich-text editing. I would LOVE to have rich-text editing. As it was, because our document got really long and we could not easily distinguish the blocks of text, we ended up falling back on the old Word + version numbering + check in/check out method. Like a VW bug, it's ugly but it works.

    Very cool to read about your experience. Check out my posting. I talked to the creators to ask them if they would do a rich-text version. They did not seem too interested in the idea but I may have misinterpreted. I hope not. I think they would sell a TON of them if they used their existing architecture but built a rich-text editor on top of it.

    Don't miss Björn's screen-photograph in the post trackbacked right above! It's worth a peek :-)
