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!

Capture from our FOSDEM talk. You can see the title slide, and two white people presenting it.
