Need some merge strategies on both the server and the client to keep people's changes from clobbering one another when multiple people are typing.

Also figure out how to keep the person's cursor from being hijacked.

This doesn't seem like it'll be a trivial issue.

Need to look into 3-way merge algorithms. Either that or start breaking the document up into smaller chunks and operate on those instead of the entire document at once.

This isn't so high on the priority list...

Could we use something like xdiff and xmerge (what git uses) on the server to take care of these tasks even if I don't have time to do it natively in JS?
