Can you imagine yourself in a classroom where students can collaboratively write notes on the same document? It seems like a great idea to me on the educative side of things, and it did work fine for the talk Jason Kottke attended.

I wrote about Hydra before, but that use didn’t occur to me at the time. I was more thinking of Extreme Programming or simultaneous editing of long documents.

I remember when, in secondaire IV, me and two other guys ended up typing our history notes. There was a bit more than 100 pages, single spaced in Times 12… It could have saved us a bunch of time, and give us a better result in the end.
