libinfinity
libinfinity is library to build collaborative text editors. Changes to the text buffers are synced to all other clients over a central server. Even though a central server is involved, the local user sees his changes applied instantly and the merging is done on the individual clients.

- libinfinity: Library implementing the core infinote part
- infinoted: Simple stand-alone infinote server application
- libinfgtk: Provides glib main loop integration and GTK+ widgets related to libinfinity
