Operational Transform and CRDT papers and prototypes

This repository will hold papers Raph Levien is writing on technologies for collaborative text editing, in particular at the intersection of Operational Transformation and Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDT's).

It also holds a prototype implementation in JavaScript, using socket.io.

Running the prototype collaborative editor

Do npm install to install the required Node dependencies, then node . to run the server. Connect any number of clients, then start typing. You can simulate network lag by enabling an optional "sleep" call in the server.
