In a recent post on Hacker News [1] about EtherPad [2], a real-time group-oriented writing collaboration service, someone mentioned a way to use emacs & GNU screen to get a similar functionality -- users ssh into a server, share gnu screen sessions, start emacs & emacsclient, and "everyone has full access to their own emacs, but share buffers with everyone else...simultaneously edit the same buffers..." [3] Later down in the comments someone asked if there were any collaborative text editing plugins for vim [4].
So I was wondering if there might be a way to accomplish at least some of the functionality of EtherPad using Vim -- multiple people editing the same document with changes reflected on everyone's screen in real-time. There's DocSynch [5] and some mention of integrating it with Vim [6], but that project seems to be inactive. Thoughts?
