Hi Michael:

I don't have any clear idea yet (and don;t know the TRAMP code). But, as
this will be implemented more or less as a server-client, the only thing
tramp would need to do is to connect (from the client side), identify
and request the file... very similar to opening an ssh file, but maling
a local copy and initializing the server CRDT/OT local service as
client. The rest of the process will be handled internally by the
collaborative api like any other file from the Tramp's point of view.

I think tramp is the preferred place to avoid creating another interface
for the user (extra names, commands and so on). But actually the only
part that Tramp should take care may be the initial "login" and probably
the logout/close-connection.

In any case this could also be implemented from outside tramp and add a
condition to commands like find-file... But IMO these are just
details.. we need to make it work first.

In local or remote side the requirements are similar (From the tramp
point of view):

Server side:
Start the OT/CRDT server/service
Associate with a local file(s)

Client side:
Start the OT/CRDT server/service (as client)
Connect to remote server
Identify
Request/create remote file copy to work locally.
Associate
