"collaborative" implies that people work together. Probably N-way.
Possibly with some restrictions (people may be able to join in read-only
mode).
Also that when you start Vim on a file at home, you can continue working
on it from work and then on your laptop in Starbucks. Without getting
"swap file exists" errors.
I can't say anything about the implementation. Figuring this out is
part of the work. It requires votes before thinking about this.
