There are several bots you can invite to your conversation that will automatically convert tex code -- some real-time and some after you submit. I've tried several, and by far my current favorite is [email protected] (just invite that bot to your conversation). Anyone have a better one? | |

I use it for collaboration, but only for bouncing ideas off of a collaborator and keeping a log of these ideas, not for the actual writing of the paper. (ScribTex above looks promising for that aspect). Think of it as half-way between instant messaging and email. | |

| Oct 28, 2009 at 19:11 | comment | added | Reid Barton | I'm very excited about Google Wave, but it's certainly not at the point where I would want to write an entire paper in it. For the purpose of writing a paper, I don't think real-time collaboration is valuable enough to outweigh the advantages of the existing infrastructure (e.g., chances are you greatly prefer your favorite editor to the one in the Google's Wave client running in your browser). It could already be quite useful for talking about your paper while writing it, though. | |

| Oct 28, 2009 at 15:06 | comment | added | Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson | I just started using it - envisioning mathematical collaboration as my main mode of usage. Not enough time put into it to be able to tell how good or bad it will turn out though. It sure feels promising at this point, though. | |
