Open source collaborative text editors

Open source collaborative text editors

This editor promises to take a lot of the kiwis for itself: it is licensed under GPL (some discussion of limitations here, (+1), supports images, tables, lists (+3), math is supported with a plugin (+1), and it supports real-time collaboration with remote cursor and selections too (+2). A nice editor, but the lack of an available open source collaboration server is a bummer indeed. But what if we could also do something about those icons…

I thought it would be too unfortunate if we were, after all these recent advancements in the state of the art for collaborative text editors, still left with two editors, that despite their amazing features, we simply couldn’t use in open source projects – either due to licensing issues, lack of openly available building blocks, or both.
