Imagine a protocol like #LSP, but for adding real-time collaboration to existing text editors. It would allow #Neovim to edit a #Hedgedoc, or peer-to-peer pair programming between #VSCode and #Emacs!

We've come up with our own little protocol like that (for Teamtype), but we'd like to open up the discussion:

That's why we're inviting everyone interested to an initial online gathering on Feb 26, 19:00 UTC, to gauge interest for working on a protocol like this together!

For some background, you can watch the talk @zormit and @blinry gave at #FOSDEM:

We'd especially love your input if you already have experience standardizing protocols, to point us towards best practices!
