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/

Discussion

It sure would smile But as you say, not easy. Synchro Edit seems to be hot at the moment, with ether pad and wave getting a lot of press. Perhaps integration with one of these would be easier?

FYI, Ether pad will be closing in March, after being acquired by Google.

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