SOC: Collaborative editing

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.
