Hi Alastair,

Good reports from the nz team as usual :-)

Collaboration in browse shares bookmarked favourites (star a few pages  
so they appear across the bottom). Each should show in the users own  
colours, so a couple of folks can go hunting/sharing their research  
topic finds together*** – it's been a while since I last tried this so  
your milage may vary...

*** My attempt at use case: teacher finds several web pages for a  
topic being taught, class then join teachers shared session, review  
pages, and share new relevant pages they find with the group.

I do like the idea of the current sharers page being the default, but  
this breaks down if you join a session with more than one other person  
(whose current page should be the one you default to). Collaboration  
(with more than 2) is really a very tough problem to solve well :-)

Many thanks for the reports!
