The idea is to display, in a box in the edit window, information about who else has the same edit window open. For example, it could display each username, along with the amount of time they have been idle and the edit summary they have typed if any.
While technically a nice idea, I'm a bit concerned about privacy.
I for myself do expect that I can edit a page and type anything into the edit window without anyone else knowing. Not even knowing that I have this page open. I don't want to publish any info *until* I hit save.
I have several times canceled a talk page post already written into the edit window (censoring myself). And sometimes I was really glad having canceled ;)
