The colorg project is about real-time collaborative editing of Org files. The project progresses a bit on each weekend only, but I seemingly cannot find free hours elsewhere in the week! Here is the status after three weeks. The parts slowly begin to fit together. I can launch a colorg server and two Emacs sessions. In the first Emacs, I can upload a buffer contents to the server as a resource. In the second Emacs, I can either download that resource from the server into a empty buffer, or associate it with a buffer already having identical contents. Then, making edits to any Emacs go to the other. That's a start! Take note that the tool is still unusable however, as the resolution clashing code in the server still has to be implemented, it only works when editing in disjoint areas. On a local Git branch, I have some Emacs Lisp code to multiplex many buffers to many servers (or one), but bugs remain, so I did not merge that branch yet. I adjusted the documentation on https://github.com/pinard/colorg/wiki . The Usage page has a list of known problems (remaining things to do). Keep happy all! Fran=C3=A7ois P.S. When modifications clash, a region should never be deleted more than once, and insertions should all be kept, so no work is lost unexpectedly. This has consequences on the later alterations coming in the same batches, and this is where the complexity lies. Not very difficult (so far that I can see), but quite tedious to do correctly. I'll come to it, hopefully.
