Operational Transform

For the past few months, I’ve been attempting to develop a collaborative code editor in the command line. What that entails essentially is a Google Doc-like interface, but using ncurses, allow the program to be used in the terminal. There are of course software out which allows editing collaboration away from the browser, but a scant few offer this capability from the command line. What I want to do is build a vi-like editor which can be connected to from halfway around the world, as well as locally.
