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. |
