Custom syntax

How about allowing user to create a format for custom syntax highlighting for unlisted language? It'd be faster to allow them to make those highlight instead of collabedit's author make it himself.

Add Verilog to the languages list

This is a great tool, and to expand it's usage you can add Verilog and VHDL which are Hardware Description Languages, not very common for software designers but very useful por electrial engineers...

Access control

A coworker suggested I look at collabedit as an alternative to Google Docs for phone screens. I like collabedit's syntax highlighting, but one key feature that Google Docs offers is access control.

With Google Docs, I can give one person edit rights, another read-only rights, and can give a third ownership rights (edit rights, plus the right to extend rights to others). If an owner hasn’t given you rights, you can’t edit or view the doc, even if you know the URL.

With collabedit, apparently anyone who has the URL can edit and view the doc.

This matters with phone screens, because it is nice to be able to turn-off edit rights after a screen, making the doc a fair record of the interview.

Make it ship text around different services

I used Etherpad for writing. I wanted to use it as a replacement for blogging. I was going to use it literally as a live journal, or at least as a shared/editable text with revision history.

Problem is to share my journal, I had to either point them to my Etherpad or (haphazardly) embed it into an HTML page.

What I want is a service just like EtherPad, but with an ability to ship text around to other web services. Where it could pass text (and whatever else) to places I want. Maybe through the XMPP protocol?

At the least, I'd love to see Collabedit send things over email. So I could send things over to Posterous to post anywhere I wanted. My content would be attached to my email name.

Provide a facility to group documents into projects

It would be really helpful to group documents in to projects and define access rules on each project, separately.

Project management would be very much necessary for any commercially viable document management system

Fix your service, so it don't hang!!!

It is infuriating when you do a phone interview and collabedit just gets stuck for 3-7 minutes.
