Its + purpose is to share buffers with other users in order to edit the + contents of those buffers collaboratively. Rudel supports multiple + backends to enable communication with other collaborative editors + using different protocols, though currently Obby (for use with the + Gobby editor) is the only fully-functional one. + + Since Rudel is not an application, but an extension to Emacs, it is + not started and used like most applications (not even Emacs + applications like Gnus). Rudel mostly works in the background to + change the behavior of the set of Emacs buffers for which it has + been activated. + + The user interface consists of a set of key bindings, a menu entry + and some visual status indicators, which are added to the text and + mode line of buffers for which Rudel has been activated. + +* GETTING STARTED + + Assuming Rudel has already been installed and auto loading has been + set up, a global Rudel mode can be enabled as follows: + + : M-x global-rudel-minor-mode + + This will enabled Rudel's key bindings and menu entry. + +** JOINING A SESSION + + : M-x rudel-join-session [ C-c c j ] + + Depending on the installed Rudel backends, system environment and + configuration, a number of questions will be asked, followed by an + attempt to join session described by your answers. + + A typical example of the questions asked when joining a session may + look like this: + + Server: localhost RET + Port (default 6522): RET + Username: jan RET + Color: light sky blue RET + Use Encryption (y or n): n RET + Global Password: RET + User Password: RET + + IMPORTANT: For sessions using the obby backend (like in the example + above), the following restriction has to be taken into account: + + When the server is Rudel inside an Emacs process: + Encryption cannot be used currently in this case. Consequently + the answer to the `Use Encryption (y or n):' prompt above has to + be `n RET'. + + When the server is a Gobby process: + Gobby only supports encrypted connections. So the answer has to + be `y RET' is this case. + + It is possible to configure frequently used sessions using the + customization options `rudel-configured-sessions'. When one or more + sessions are configured, `rudel-join-session' will provide choices + like "my-configured-session", ... and "ask-protocol". Selecting + "ask-protocol" invokes the behavior described above. Selecting one + of the configured sessions connects to that session without asking + for all the data. + +** HOSTING A SESSION + + : M-x rudel-host-session [ C-c c h ] + + Note that the session starts out without any participating users + (This is sometimes referred to as being a dedicated server). If you + want to participate in the session you host, you have to join it as + described above. + +* KNOWN ISSUES + + + Publishing eshell buffers will cause your session to be + disconnected since eshell disables the hooks that Rudel uses to + catch changes to the buffer. As a workaround, you can use M-x + ansi-term or another terminal emulator. + +* LICENSE + + Rudel is licensed under the same terms as GNU Emacs. + +Local variables: +mode: org +end: -- cgit v1.2.3
