Problem

To me a staging server is one where I try new modules, make settings changes, and otherwise screw around with the data structures. A production server holds the content, interacts with my users, etc.

Overview: Let users to edit a node at the same time.

Description: I proposed that last GSoC(Refactor Collaborative Editor), using one of VCS, Comet or AJAX. But now, like chyatt comment, there is google-mobwrite. And now it seems really a better idea(awesome? :p).
