This actually does solve some real world problems for me. I work a lot
with distributed teams (in the same timezone and in multiple
timezones). Being able to collaborate on a doc and have chats recorded
on the doc and see how the chats are reflected in the edits is great
for me. It is a bit like google docs with chat or a wiki with built in
chat. I would just like it if they added spreadsheet functionality.
Having the word processor bit is nice, but it would be good to be able
to talk numbers with someone too.

The other thing I like about it is that it is federated and is a
protocol. It should be possible to set up your own private one. I know
that some people are looking at that already. I can see myself using a
public one for public things (London Python meetups for example) and
private ones for my own personal or business use.

cheers,
Bruce
