--- Comment #9 from Gerry <gerry.treppel at googlemail.com> ---
I changed the title of this enhancement request to „real-time and offline
collaborative editing“ to not confuse with the terms used. Here are the terms
used for collaborative editing:

*Collaborative editing* (synonyms: co-authoring, parallel editing) means that
multiple users can work together on a document, spreadsheet or presentation,
over the inter/intranet (e.g. saved in a CMIS). This term comprises *real-time*
and *offline* collaborative editing.

*Real-time collaborative editing* (synonyms: real-time parallel editing,
real-time co-authoring, simultaneous collaborative editing) means that multiple
users can simultaneously edit the same document. If anyone else is working on
the document, the user sees their presence and the changes they're making in
real-time.

*Offline collaborative editing* (synonyms: offline parallel editing,
asynchronous collaborative editing, synchronised collaborative editing) means
that the user can keep working on the shared file, independently whether he/she
is connected. When the user goes offline, the application switches from
real-time collaborative editing to offline collaborative editing. If there are
others editing the same document, they won't be able to see the changes while
the user is offline. When the user goes back online, he/she will be notified of
any changes that are available, and other users will see the changes made by
the user.
