There are two ways to approach this. The first is a sort of live
synchronous editor (like you are both looking at the same thing at the
same time). That's something like Gobby or another libobby client.

The other way is the asynchronous way (sort of like distributed version
control). I built a wiki that takes that tact called textnet. If you're
interested, I'm happy to share!

Later,
Mako
