Feature Proposal: It would be really neat to be able to edit pages synchronously, seeing edits by others in real time
Motivation
It would be really neat to be able to edit pages synchronously, seeing edits by others in real time. This would make (each) Foswiki an alternative to Etherpad.
Description and Documentation
Now I know implementation will not be easy, but I am sure it would be a killer app: people want this!
Examples
http://www.synchroedit.com/ (demo not working atm)
http://etherpad.com/

EtherPad? has been
open sourced, which might make it possible to integrate with Foswiki.
