Cool editor! Do you support collaboration via something like http://code.google.com/p/google-mobwrite/ ? In any event, great work, hope 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.
