Saros - Distributed Party Programming

Saros is an Open Source plugin for connecting multiple IDEs for distributed collaborative software development.

• All participants get an identical local copy of the projects they work on.
• Each can work in their usual IDE.
• Saros keeps their copies in sync, so everyone can work completely concurrently and in real-time.
