I'll jump back in to this thread here (there are lots of other emails about the merits of infiniote, kobby, gobby etc...). Anyway, apparently Google recently acquired etherpad (http://etherpad.com/) and have released it under Apache 2. I've never really used it much but it might be worth looking into - etherpad.com looks like it will be closed down, but it might be possible to set up our own server? Note: it doesn't seem to work in KHTML, but does seem to work in Konqi with the webkit kpart - or Rekonq, Firefox, even IE if that's your thing ;-).
