PairingSetups

Sharing edits:

• Terminal Share (advantages: lower bandwidth, higher responsiveness, consistent copy&paste)
  • ssh to a shared box
    • As same user? First in runs tmux, next runs tmux a
    • As different users? Host runs tmux -S /tmp/pair and chmod a+rw /tmp/pair; guest runs tmux -S /tmp/pair (this is what wemux/tweemux do)
  • One-way sharing via http://screenx.tv
• GUI share (advantages: share whole browser, IDE, etc.)
  • vnc
  • Google Hangout
  • Jabber/WebEx share
  • Skype Premium account
• Hybrid (advantages: most of both of the above, minus the extra setup time):
  • One pair hosts a Terminal Share, the other connects in and does a GUI share

Communicating:

• Over the editing medium (that is, type comments to each other in the shell and hit ^C instead of Enter, etc.)
• Text chat (IRC/etc).
  • Can be good to have one within a tmux pane of the Terminal share, where both pairs are also connected via their own clients. This allows the navigator to interrupt the driver
• VoIP/Video
  • SIP
  • Google Hangout
  • Skype
  • Mozilla Tow Truck
