Collaborative Tools and Workflow
In the first Test Run VS Code with Live Share Extension was found to be a suitable tool for real time collaboration.
Unfortunately, notebook support with VS Code Live Share is an experimental feature which is currently broken (but expected to be fixed soon): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/liveshare/reference/notebooks and https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/4291
Once this is available, it seams to be the ideal solution especially as it has a unified interface independent of the language (python/julia/R/…)
:warning: For this test run it would be helpful if you could install VS Code with Live Share Extension before hand.
If notebook support is fixed the VS Code Insiders version would be required as long as it is experimental. This can be installed alongside regular VS Code without problems.
