Cool editor! Do you support collaboration via
something like

it sees the light of day.
We've done experiments with collaboration. We have no official mandate
to do a collaborative editor, the only thing we're officially working on
is a GUI editor.
But, we've spent a lot of time studying Wave and Etherpad, and we're
trying to ensure that our transaction model would allow for live
collaboration. It is difficult to see what this would mean for Wikipedia
exactly, but I think it could help pass on Wiki values and practices if
people could collaborate in real time.
We will probably never support live updates of the page you are looking
at though. This would be collaboration by users who join some kind of
editing session. The security of that session is another unsolved problem.
