NTE is a shared text editor designed for use on the Mbone. It is
|
|
not a word processor and it is not a whiteboard - if you want a
|
|
whiteboard, wb from LBL is a much better whiteboard.
|
|
|
|
Using NTE can be very interactive - unless you lock a block of
|
|
text, anyone else in your session can edit that text or delete it.
|
|
This is intentional. Many people can (if they wish) edit the same
|
|
document simultaneously. Many people can even edit the same block
|
|
of text simultaneously, but if more than one person tries to edit
|
|
the same line at one time, a conflict will occur, which results in
|
|
only one of the changes being preserved.
|
|
|
|
In general, it is up to you how you use NTE. You must develop
|
|
human protocols to be able to collaborate, even in face-to-face
|
|
meetings, and NTE is no exception. It will work well if you
|
|
cooperate, and not if you don't.
