Hi Ben,

   > Groupthink: Collab should be easy.

(from the patch):
-        self.totranslate = gtk.Entry(max=50)
+        self.cloud.totranslate = groupthink.gtk_tools.RecentEntry(max=50)

.. wow, that *is* easy.  And it's synchronous, so the text box is
updated with each character press.  You could also use this technique
for Pippy's source code textbox, which would immediately turn it into a
collaborative editor.  (I don't care about collisions very much as long
as everyone gets the same state; they can be resolved socially.)

Now that we're excited, maybe you should let on what the blocker bugs
are.  :-)

Could we sign you up for a quick XOCamp demo/talk?

Thanks!

- Chris.
