Collective note-taking with Hydra

Hydra lets people work on documents together via Rendezvous. Right now, 5-7 people are taking collaborative notes in the same document on Eric Bonabeau’s talk on Biological Computing. With the permission of the other participants, I’ll either post or link to the resulting document here. (Ok, here are the notes we (there were 7-10 of us) took during the session. Oh, and here it is with Hydra’s color coding intact.)

Update: there’s now a chat as well…using Hydra as a ad hoc chat system. Hydra just connects with a place for people to plop in text. Very little imposed heirarchy which makes it very flexible (what Howard was talking about this morning in urging developers to “create tools that amplify collective action”).
