Thank you.

Finding sessions is implemented using dnssd aka Zeroconf. Inviting others 
via IM or email is on the todo list. More on that once I have finished 
those specifications.

I redesigned the internal MateEdit API so that it should be fairly easy to 
integrate this into Kate. It basically functions as a black box that 
controls the collaborative side of things. Things like highlighting and 
user display need to be handled by the actual editor with input being 
provided by the MateEdit component. 
 
However I don't see it fit for inclusion just yet, as it needs to be 
improved to also handle redo operations, the algorithm implementation must 
be validated (dynamic and static tests) and security aspects need to be 
carefully considered and acted upon.
