I might come back with a better answer mid of next month (after some releases),
but allow me to just give a quick status update:

Within the TDF, I am working on parallel collaboration by adding the concept of
changes (or operations) to our ODF Toolkit, see
https://tdf.github.io/odftoolkit/docs/odfdom/operations/operations.html

To define changes is important, as when you are working in parallel you are
working on local copies like when working with GIT. You have to be able to ask
your coworkers for their changes to be able to merge them into your copy.

I have explained this in the earlier mentioned ACM paper the end of last year.
It had been uploaded for free access at:
https://github.com/tdf/odftoolkit/blob/master/docs/docs/presentations/2019%20-%20ACM%20DocEng%20-%20The_Next_Millennium_Document_Format.pdf 

If someone is curious, I have even made the effort to summarize all my painful
experiences and resulting ideas in two talks at the XML conference in Prague
this year (I was lucky I was able to attend FOSDEM and XML Prague before
Corona).
The first talk is about improving XML in general and is more about my painful
journey in the past 20 years (started 1999 at StarOffice), while the second
talk builds on top of the first, drafting a solution for the named problems:

* #1 Slide: https://www.xmlprague.cz/day2-2020/#xmlpp
* #1 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLwH4q-R55M
* #2 Slide:https://www.xmlprague.cz/day3-2020/#nmdf
* #2 Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkTflH3yQZE

Regarding the upcoming work on the ODF Toolkit, Sebastian and I, have written
in 3 days an "experience report proposal" - but we drafted only the problem to
have a short talk at their conference to ask for feed-back instead explaining a
full solution like in a real paper.
In other words, it was refused - it was indeed a bit shallow ;-) -  but might
help to outline what we have in mind. NOTE: Only the third part is related to
ODF, you might want to skip the first two:
