DotGNU Forum System - Summary
This project is part of the GNU Project.
The DotGNU Forum System, or simply Forum, is a multi-user simultaneous editing supporting system with an internal document web. That way too complicated definition basically comes down to the following:
- Forum allows multiple users to work at a single document with
realtime updating of changes.
- Forum allows multiple users to communicate with each other while
editing.
- Forum allows documents to refer to other documents.
This project is looking for a maintainer. See the general information at Email maintainers@gnu.

I must note though that the current plan is that the server of Forum will be written in Ruby and not in C#, which was the plan at the time the article was written. A C# server may be constructed in the longer term however if there is due cause.
For more information on the change to Ruby, look at the other news message posted today.
