As the article quotes:"I was one of about four people who thought that Wave would have been a good project", and I really loved Google Wave (while at the same time I don't like many of Google's anti-privacy practices). The fact that 2-5-10 people can simultaneously work on the same piece of text, eliminating the risk of forking, enabling tracking/auditing for every key-press.. that was a dream come true. I am saddened by the fact that this went to sleep. I do understand that Google Docs is (somewhat) involving this, and that's something positive.
As far as "collaborative editing environment(s)" go, I would love to see more alternatives with such capabilities.
