Too bad it doesn't use the Infinote protocol just like Gobby [1] and Gedit. That way, everyone could use their own editor while working on the same document.

same here, and tmux lets you share more than just your vim session. We use it regularly for pair programming, some times even in the same office, each one at his own computer. I liked that coVim launches its own server, so you don't rely on having to ssh to the same box, but at the same time, I imagine ssh should be safer.
What seems to be the key feature is the text coloring, which I don't think you can get using screen or tmux.
tmux supports 256 colors with the -2 flag. I just add an alias in my .bashrc to make this the default.

I think he meant having different cursors, each with a different colour assigned to a person, and being able to use each cursor independently. not just colours in general...

It's a bummer, but it isn't the CoVim authors' fault that the Gobby developers chose irrelevance. http://git.0x539.de/?p=infinote.git;a=blob;f=COPYING;h=b124c...

#15I was really hoping, based on the title, that this would be a coeditor which types code to you.

I don't understand. You've linked to a copy of the LGPLv2.1 in infininote's git repo. Are you saying that their choice of licence primarily caused their product to be less popular?

No, I'm saying that it precludes it from being an obvious choice for a standard, since implementing that type of protocol isn't simple and there are editor writers who don't want to integrate LGPL code.

#19So it's like Floobits but for only one editor? https://floobits.com/
Floobits also uses a centralized service with a web editor where as this vim to vim only.

#20Very very cool. I like their approach toward file management -- "we'll get the multi-user data into a buffer; you deal with it from there." And now, of course, I'm wishing I had this before I switched my primary editor to SublimeText ;) Anyone know of a similar project for that?
Floobits works with Sublime Text 2 and 3, emacs and vim and a web editor and Google Hangouts and integrates with GitHub + a permission model and a shared terminal.
