Hi Philip,

I saw Camilla already mentioned Gobby (of which I was unaware before her
reply, too), but I think my editor will be quite a different experience
:) (and much less dependencies - only Verse and Allegro 5.1 atm).

I'm sure you can make a plugin to connect to a Verse server. Current
version use vanilla Text nodes and buffers, but I'm working on an
auxiliary spec to use nodes/buffers with special meaning to denote user
specific edits and a dedicated client with a simple text edit API
(essentially the same as verse_send_t_text_set, but the client would
update the special buffers). The special buffer would be used to
visualize text 'ownership' client-side.

Yes, and I installed a server for testing. It took a whopping 480MB of
RAM, so I decided I want something very lightweight. Both on client and
server side.
