This is the third implementation of this basic concept that I know about, so I'd really REALLY love to see it in S5. (I actually call this S6, for "Synchronized S5", after one of the other people who did it.) The problems the previous implementations had were that they relied on Ajax with a server-side script as a broker, so the presenter pinged the script with changes but every "follower" had to ping the script every second or so to see if anything had changed. If you've come up with a push model, or at least something that doesn't force every-second pings from all the followers, then so much the better! We can get it merged in and say yay. Now I just have to bug Ryan about the other S5 thing he and I talked about, which would make adding these kinds of features a good deal easier... “…see the slides change as the presenter changes them.”

(I used to think a custom client based on Mozilla's XUL framework would be the way to go...) Very cool that we're close to having it. All the pieces have been there, it's really just a matter of tying them together. nicely. I’ve been wanting something like an “open source NetMeeting” for years now.
