Description: MateEdit is a multi-user editor which allows concurrent editing of files. It currently features change highlighting, different text colours for each user and a communication window. MateEdit can be used for idea exchanges, programming, role playing and any other task where people share their thoughts and collaborate.Last changelog:
0.2 Added undo Merge zeroconf and non-zeroconf branch Better integration of zeroconf and non-zeroconf clients Use real username for user details
0.1.6 and 0.1.1 Fix compile for GCC 3.4
0.1.5 Added zeroconf support.
This is a KDE 3.4 only release. It provides easy service discovery using zeroconf/dnssd. Make sure you have Apple's mdnsresponder (not howl) installed and your KDE 3.4 was compiled with zeroconf support. For more information visit http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Zeroconf+in+KDE
Hi,
I'd like to try mateedit, but I can't even start it on my Kubuntu Edgy.
Output from the shell is:
StartDialogBase::setProperty( "sizeGripEnabled", value ) failed: property invalid, read-only or does not exist
Any ideas?
Hi,
compiling mateedit-0.2 using gcc-4.0.2, libqt3c-3.3.3, libqt3-mt-dev-3.3.4 (on current ubuntu breezy), i got:
message.h:183: error: ‘QBuffer’ has not been declared
I could easily fix it by inserting
#include
into message.h
Thanks for a promising app! (wanted to implement such a thing for myself)
hey!
great work. at this moment, i chat with my brother and we send us manipulated pictures. maybe, there can be a plugin or something else, to edit pictus in a group? ;)

There is an non-kde application like this which is VERY fast. It's called Moonedit; but I haven't had the chance to test it in reality yet.
Google for it.
I think syntax hightlighting would be absolutely marvelous. Maybe the Kate editor component could be used, but dunno. I was looking for something similar for ages! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your suggestion. I have already started looking into it, but time is limited at the moment. Things will definetely happen in that direction, they just might take some time.
I think it would be even nicer not to integrate the Kate editor part in MateEdit, but the other way round! Make MateEdit a plugin for the Kate KPart and you have pair programming for free in KDevelop ;-)
That's a great idea... on the one hand, it should be accessible from programms like kopete, kmail (send invitation by mail), on the other hand, it should be usable through editors like kate, kwrite etc.... so the best would be a library/plugin to achieve this.

Thank you for your comment. Glad you like it. If you have some more specific they would be appreciated. More features will definetely come, but if you would like to see anything in particular please tell me.
this is great, absolutely, but it lacks quite some integration... couldn't you make a plugin or addon or patch for kopete? or integrate it in kontact? if you are planning to do so, well, don't mind me and don't listen, I didn't say anything :D
Thank you for your comment. I had thought about integrating it into Kopete, just haven't gotten around to it yet. What sort of integration did you have in mind though? If you could tell me a bit more about how you think it should be integrated that would be great
well,
I dont know how you exactly implemented this, but if its a seperate 'protocol' I think you can add it to kopete (just like there are aim, irc, msn etc). but it'd be even better if it could work upon existing protocols, like msn or icq. so the users can simply open this drawer and start working together. maybe add painting too, maybe with kolourpaint, so they can work together on something like that. and maybe rich-text edit etc?
I imagine people can work on a application (EVERY application) together while talking in their mic's :D
Would be cool for kde 4.0...
Thanks for sharing those ideas.
Yes, MateEdit uses it's own protocol. This is quite simple at this stage (user joins, user leaves, chat message, insert operation, and delete operation), but I am sure additional operations will follow.
Kopete integration with sharing chat messages via any protocol could be done. Instead of drawers, I think "dragging" people into a MateEdit session would be the way to go.
Painting is really something different as the current algorithm and the protocol work on text only.
Rich-text could be achieved as well, but would add complexity.
I think though that for all applications to be collaborative more developers are needed. But I like the idea :) So if you are keen, join the team ;)

I've been looking something like this for weeks! You should look http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit for ideas.

me has no programming knowledge... but I love the fact you work on this :D
