...or similar.

The idea of moonedit is great, but it requires the user to install the client on their computer. Not a big issue, I know, seeing as there's not much of a demand right now. However, making it a web applet will encourage more users to use it.

One would launch the applet, and log in. You would pick which "server" and/or "room" you want, which then has all files pertaining to that room in there. You could then pick the file (which may or may not be passworded) and it would load up in the buffer. The editable area would be similar to moonedit from there...

Settings that you could change would be colors of users' text/nicknames, hell, you could even put in RGB value/scheme settings which get saved as cookies (why the hell do they call them cookies?) or something to that effect.

The benefit for the community?

It would be the only community where users could collaborate real-time without downloading a special client (aside from Java, which lots of poeple have already)

Staff could collaborate real-time on board2 related events, ones which require structure in a notepad-based environment.

Probably tons more.

Thoughts?

And it'd be very interesting, as well. One nice possibility is integration with ROM hacking and the uploader, e.g. Thread:xxxxx might create a thread <a> tag, or >>12345 could create a post link, uploader:xxx might give a Board2 Uploader link, etc.

I know it'd take a lot of work, but it would be interesting to see this take off. The moonedit server that already exists for this community doesn't see a lot of activity because of its general difficulty (compared to a java applet) in the beginning.

On a side note, we should revise the "control panel" area just below the banner. We could keep the links we already have, but categorize them better. You could just switch places with the PoRA™ box, and make it more obvious to the users. New features and tools would get better use/exposure out of this, such as the IRC Java applet, this moonedit java applet, board2 Radio, etc. The links would be bigger and possibly have a small image next to it.

I could mock something up if anyone is interested...
