Might be worth mentioning that the popular email spec, RFC 733, was <br>
primarily developed via email. The 4 of us worked at 4 different <br>
institutions, around the country. We met once or twice, as I recall, <br>
but the bulk of the collaboration was via email. This was also 1977. <br>
And I think that by then this sort of email-mediated collaboration had <br>
become pretty common, for those with access to Arpanet mail.<br>
<br>
(My phrasing of that is because email relaying meant that some people <br>
could interact with Arpanet mail users even though their system was <br>
directly attached to the Arpanet: "To Be 'On' the Internet", RFC 1775.)<br>
