Multiple User Collaboration and/or Interaction
Since multiple group members can login and access content at the same time, it'd be ideal to be able to interact with those users. A chat window and being able to view and interact with their changes real-time would be awesome.
This can be done with the Faithlife panel. This shows posts and messages from faithlife.com.

PS: The chat window is a great idea... a workaround could be to have a slide right at the end called RANDOM or something, and add any messages/notes to other editors in there... and just make sure you don't show the slide on a Sunday :)

A friend an I were trying to edit the same slide at once, just to see how the system would handle it, and although it handled it as expected, the most recent edit seemed to overide changes the other was doing, so it would be very helpfull to know if someone is editing a particular item/slide, so if I opened a slide to fix something while someone else was still working on it, a message would be displayed to me to say that "so and so is currently editing this slide" or somthing like that. I would then come back later... or just run the risk of my changes being overwritten.

I doubt any of our users would be online at the same time (unless I called them and asked them to be, but then I can just talk to them on the phone at that point). What I would really like is to have the ability to leave messages in the program, or notifications, like facebook and other non-presentation programs do. That would be another feature that other presentation applications don't do and would be in line with Proclaim's collaborating theme.

Another option would be to at minimum be able to leave notes for someone. Often the pastor and I are working on our portions at different times and it would be nice to be able to leave each other program notes of some sort that appear to us when we log in.
