Hi Jeff, I'm just a lurker based in Des Moines, so don't get to come to the
meetings, but was just curious if you've tried Gobby (or any of the
*obby's)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobby

It works great on zeroconf networks and allows multiple people to view and
edit a document simultaneously and see changes in real time. It also works
well with regular LANs and over the Internet.

It works awesome for sharing long-urls or snippets of code. I used it when
participating in a lesson on Ubuntu packaging and it was extremely useful to
be able to copy and paste the commands the instructor was using.

The downside is that, like a lot of OSS, it operates on the premise that
you're using a Unix-like OS and it has added Windows support as an
after-thought. I hear it works well except for the zeroconf stuff (so you
have to enter the computer name instead of having a select list).
