I’m looking forward to using SynchroEdit in all it’s open-source glory—when it’s available. . .

This means that we are making available the source code, and publishing the protocol, so that this capability can be added to any web service or application. Thus comparisons to JotLive and Writely are somewhat orthagonal. They are web services. If they wanted to, there is no reason why they couldn't implement our source code as part of their product. The goal of SynchroEdit is to offer the capabilitity of synchronous editing as broadly as possible.
