Cool idea for a jabber project!
It would be the web equivalent of something I know under the name
'cooperative editor'
or maybe 'group editor'. I remember having read about such a cooperative
editor
some years ago. (Cooperative systems are an active reasearch field)
If one goes to Ajax interfaces for present wikis, that is the way, yes.
What might it be good for? I am a regular contributor to the german
wikipedia edition.
The scenario that several folks edit the same article happens, but is
rather seldom.
I usually notice this, when my edit commit results in a conflict.
For a real time wiki scenario, it might be nice if i could be aware of
the other's presence
(.. clearly a job for jabber!) a bit earlier and perhaps chat with the
other person in some
way to avoid conflicting edits or to split work in a useful way. That
would help.
The other useful scenario might be shared white board pages in the real
time wiki,
meeting places where folks develop some text in groups on purpose, or
give some
talk.

Marc
