That's neat. I had not heard/read the emacs could do that. I'm thinking
less of a white-board, though I said that, I'm thinking really of
something like a snippet of code that looks for timestamp changes and
reloads the buffer. It's not real-time, but should allow sharing of
ideas, issues, etc. What do you think?
