if you ever wanted to know how all those collaborative editors
were done... look no further! ;-) wootedit is simple, but
complete implementation of such editor, with UDP-based network
communication. currently, it was tested under GNU/Linux only,
but there are no platform-specific code (except some socket
API), so porting it to another OS should be trivial.
you will need IV[3] and ARSD[4] libraries to build wootedit.
