read this document. This topic is a very interesting one as I thought
about that topic too, but I have one important question about collision
checking/processing:
FWIW, SubEthaEdit has been doing this sort of thing on the Mac for a
while:
http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/collaborate.html
It also relies on social engineering to avoid people typing over each
other, although since it uses Bonjour/Rendezvous (the Mac's built-in
zeroconf implementation), as does iChat (the Mac's built-in videoconf
app), you're only a nicely-integrated click or two away from a text,
voice or video link with your co-authors, which makes resolving
conflicts that bit simpler:
