I'd like to welcome Gregory Haynes who will be working to bring collaborative editing to KDE this year. Collaborative editing consists of multiple people working on the same document at the same time and being able to see each others changes in real-time. Having this in KDE will be fantastic and a huge step forward in terms of what is possible when it comes to working with other people.
Greg is relatively new to the KDE community, but has already enough Qt related experience to make this happen. One thing that impressed with his application was his enthusiasm coupled with very good attention to detail and a clear plan of what to do. Personally I am very excited and can't wait to see the first results. I'm sure it will be just pure awesomeness.

Did I smell XMPP? ;)
OH! OH! OH! Hopefully we'll get to see this integrated into Koffice 2.0 as and integral technology which can be used in any Koffice application. Please say so.
I'm not clear if a possibility to make a simple drawing is possible A picture says more then a thousand words....
Its going in as a katepart for now, but the protocol lends well to abstraction with 'transformation vectors', so we'll see what happens. ;)

Palm could do this with bluetooth... and KDE can't do it with a full-fledged network connection? Isn't that a little weird?
Did you already check out "Makneto", see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HnTkxHPVhQ
and

?
Is this something similar?
This project is more about text editing than creating images.
Makneto looks good for a whiteboard solution. It is still not identical to collaborative image creation but I guess we'll have to wait and see where it ultimately goes.
