writely.com has good real time collaborative editing too. However, the
client side needs are simply too much for Wikipedia; currently, even
non-css browsers can use Wikipedia. If we were to suddenly start
demanding javascript and a constant internet connection we would lose
many valuable editors. In addition, many copy the article text into a
third party application (word - spellchecking, or notepad++ - macros;
i am guilty of using both these apps for editing at some point), make
what edits they wish and then copy it back. How do we handle this?

the number of edit conflicts will be growing exponentially.
There's a solution to edit conflicts: real-time collaborative editing.
