This is a great concept, but I would love to see it implemented as a plugin for Visual Studio or Eclipse, not a new IDE.

"Your web browser is not supported by EtherCodes" Fine I didn't want to see you site either.

  Internet Explorer is the new Linux. Sweet sweet justice. Works in Chrome/Firefox in Ubuntu

I don't understand...isn't Skywriter (previously Bespin) supposed to support real time collaboration on its own? http://benzilla.galbraiths.org/2009/08/13/collaborating-with-bespin/ http://benzilla.galbraiths.org/2009/08/13/collaborating-with...

Who's idea was it to use Papyrus in the homepage slider?!

Page is too wide for my perfectly reasonable browser window.

  And too narrow for my maximized browser. The default view is only 70 columns. In fact, the help text on the command-line extends off the right edge, with no horizontal scroll, so the shortcut keys are all cut off. Why not simply scale to the width of the user's browser window?

This would be amazing if it attached to interpreters for appropriate languages. Collaboratively editing code and seeing the runtime, even if it only supports the console, would be extremely useful. For pure HTML, a window containing the document rendered in realtime would also be very beneficial.

FYI there are grammar and/or spelling errors in most frames of the slider: "We care about codes highlights as much as you, major languages are here, even more are comming!" "Crowd coding, bring all peers immediately with simply a URL , in ignorance about Emacs zealots or Vim stickers, watch every others' each single scratch in truly real-time."

Is it just me, or does this thing hate FireFox?

Tried in in both Firefox and Safari and got the 'we don't support your browser' dialog even though my version numbers were higher than the ones they gave. Perhaps it is not ready for prime time?
