SubEthaEdit. I got this tip from a slashdot posting. It looks like an interesting way to collaborate on a writing project where changes need to be made in realtime without the hassle of dealing with a CVS. It's currently just a simple text editor, but add the powerful functions of LaTeX and you have an awesome tool for writing and publishing. I'm sure there are other tools people are using to write their scientific papers, but at the university where I am, just about everyone is using MS Word with its bloated editing functions/macros, and dealing with versioning manually. Sometimes I'd like to make changes to my paper even after I sent it to him for proofreading and editing. It appears that SubEthaEdit (such an unremarkable name?) can be the trick to do this in the future.
