For anyone who wants to do real time latex editing, then I have come across
two possibilities.

1) SubEthaEdit 

as already mentioned, really nice collaborative editing for many users,
simple to setup, fairly simple latex mode, macosx only, commercial

2) Eclipse + Texlipse + Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) and in
particular the DocShare plugin.

basic collaborative editing, appears to be limited to 2 people, a bit of a
pain to setup, good latex support, cross-platform, open source

ECF provides an example of how building a collaborative editor can be
layered on top of existing work.  See:

    http://wiki.eclipse.org/RT_Shared_Editing

I guess if LyX had a round-trip consistent latex export/import these might
even provide an option for online collaborative editing of text from a LyX
document.

Best,

Greg.
