Yay! Now we can do remote pair-programming totally within our internal network (the IT Policy goons are quite unhappy when it comes to using cloud-based services).

Pair programming in EtherPad? Yikes. I really like EtherPad, but I don't code in Notepad, either.

remote pair-programming

Doesn't that defeat the supposed purpose of pair-programming?

Which is?

I think with shared input, shared editing buffers and a voice communication channel you're pretty much there.

[palish → bretthoerner]

Ah, if there's voice communication, then yes. Voice comm is important.

Eclipse 3.5 has this feature.
