Welcome to the colorg wiki!

colorg is a real-time collaborative editing tool meant for Emacs Org mode users. See the colorg Wiki (if you’re not already here!).

At this stage, the tool is aiming simplicity: the idea is to quickly get a working prototype. All collaborating users are connected to a common server, communications do not try to be fully asynchronous, so users might experience delays. Further experimentation, tuning and development may follow. See the Motivations page.
