But my original request still stands, and there are protocols for allowing multiple people to edit a document - one of which would make a lovely addition to text mate.
AFAIK the SubEthaEdit protocol is closed, I have not asked them if they are interested in documenting it.
Libobby is an Open Source protocol / implementation for synchronized document buffers. I have not looked closer at it. They are working on a revised v2.0 of the protocol where the implementation should be LGPL or similar.
But this is pretty low-priority as most users do not need collaborative editing, but would benefit from a lot of other “missing” features -- those users which do need collaborative editing, well, there already is a great product which does it with all the bells and whistles ;)
