Editing an article in Gobby.

Gobby is a first-class, GUI-based text collaboration tool. You can use it, in conjunction with a collaboration server, to work together in real time with an unlimited number of people on any text based file, code or content. Fedora offers a server for Gobby running infinoted to maximize your online experience with your collaborators.

Prerequisities

To use Gobby with the Fedora Project's server, you need to have a Fedora account, and to set up your secure shell (SSH) access to fedorapeople.org.

Get the Password

Use ssh to login to your fedorapeople.org account:

ssh -l username fedorapeople.org

Read the password from this file (literally type in the following while connected):

cat ~lmacken/gobby

Run Gobby

If needed, install the gobby05 package on your Fedora, CentOS, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system:

su -c 'yum install gobby05'

or

su -c 'dnf install gobby05'

Select Applications > Internet > Gobby Collaborative Editor from the main menu.
Select the Join session... toolbar button, or Gobby > Join Session... from the Gobby menu.
In the Join Gobby session dialog, enter infinote.fedoraproject.org in the Host field. Use the standard Port assignment of 6522. Choose or change the Username and Color as needed.
At the prompt, enter the password you found in the procedure above.
