  • What are the other challenges?
• Is there any online resources about collaborative editing?
  • Academic research?
  • White-papers?
  • Blog posts?
  • Feedback from people who implemented one?
  • Open-source solutions we could study?
  • Could you make a list on the wiki?
• What kind of technical constraints a collaborative editor will add to the project?

What do you think the biggest technical challenge is in the project?

With the limited knowledge I have, I would say that writing a program that ensures collaborative editing, represents by itself a great challenge since I have few ideas about how to resolve this problem.

Other challenges

• Work on a real project with all the parts that must fit together and so, be able to keep the whole system understandable and manageable.
• Related to the previous statement: learning how to design a piece of software.
• Be able to sustain a long effort even during phases where enthusiasm will fade away.
