There has been talk about what a multi-user editor might be used
for. There have been various projects taking place at universities
and businesses in the area of group-ware. That is to say, software
that allows a group of people to interact electronically. Some of
the studies have shown that this can be a very effective was to
create new ideas and exchange information. 

Of course there are the issues of who types what where and when, but
some of the solutions have been very creative. Locking of changing
sentences or paragraphs have been one approach tried.
