Re: What a modern collaboration toolkit looks like

[Richard Stallman]

I usually don't have an internet connection, so I could not possibly
use the methods you recommend.  I cannot communicate with people by
IRC.  I cannot get information from a web interface.

Email and CVS work for me because I have the data off-line.

Even when I have a net connection, IRC is inefficient in terms of my
time.  I cannot afford watch a window while text dribbles in.  I want
to get the information as a batch, such as an email message.
