CoEdit (alpha) is an IRC client connection of wiki users. It allows two or more people to browse the web and edit the same wiki page. It mix IRC with a browser window that allows people at remote locations to browse the same page, and scroll a common view of the page. Cursors representing the mouse location of each IRC user are shown in the view window.

The connection into wiki allow group composition and edit of web content. Clipboard mark, cut-paste support gives the user a way to control wiki content, created from the IRC chat session. The control of wiki preview and save can also be broadcast across IRC, so the wiki preview mode can be sent to a IRC user.
