Hi,
I am interested in developing a module that supports online syncronous document editing.
I would like the document to behave like ACE or ABIWORD and have the ability to invite users to collboratively edit a document and for the text they have added and are currently editing in a document to be highlighted and updated for each user. The highlight colors would be different for each user.
It would be good if it incorporated a WYSIWIG editor.
Does anyone know of anyone who has developed a product like this or is looking at it?

No, there is nothing like
No, there is nothing like that. The default behavior is "they can all edit and whoever saves last wins". But the revisions of the full article are saved.
To change that behavior, there is the http://drupal.org/project/checkout module which locks out any other users while someone is editing a node.
Also the http://drupal.org/project/diff module, to check the differences with previous revisions afterwards.
