This is a highly interesting and much demanded feature. So I guess it would be a great SoC project. The first step to a good proposal would be to research what else has been done in this area. There are a couple of efforts in collaborative editing for KDE, so there are chances to build upon something already existing. I would also suggest to ask on the kate developer mailing list for more comments as there are the people who really understand the implications of this project. -- Cornelius Schumacher >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
