Quite possible. What you want there is operation transformation (OT) - the same system google wave uses to do concurrent editing.
Its an active research area, though to my knowledge nobody has implemented OT for geospacial data. (Though I haven't looked). Should be very doable - couple months if you know what you're doing and already had a map data editor. -J On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 7:48 PM, maning sambale <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Just something for brainstorming. > > Use case: > 1.
