4. Technical Description:
   4.1. Details:
	Gobby is an editor which allows users to edit text documents and source 
	files collaboratively over a network. All users can work on the file 
	simultaneously without the need to lock it. The sections of the file 
	written by different users are highlighted in different colours, and 
	it supports syntax. A chat facility is also included.

	Gobby is an open source software and this proposal integrates version
	0.4, the latest stable version.

	Gobby makes use of the Gtk+ toolkit.

	Features:
	   * Each user has its own changeable colour to be identified by others
	   * IRC-like chat for communicating with your partners while coding
	   * Syntax highlighting for most programming languages
	   * Session password protection
	   * Multiple documents in one session
	   * Drag'n'drop of documents into Gobby
	   * Document synchronisation on request
	   * Zeroconf support
	   * Unicode support
	   * Gobby is free software.
