I don’t have experience with Rudel but I’m also interested in hearing from others — maybe at some point we can organize some co-writing session where we try to update Worg pages.
I tried Rudel, a good while ago, and did not find it satisfying enough to be usable, besides an emulation of the old talk functionality. Maybe this is because I only tried it with Gobby?
After your message, I quickly revisited its Web site. While it got quite interesting on the side of supporting various standards and methods, and without trying it this time, I got the feeling from the site that its UI did not really improve, or at least, is still way too far from Org. Or maybe it’s just that I lack enthusiasm and vision?

Unfortunately Rudel doesn’t appear to be maintained (at least as far as I could tell the last mailing list post was in 2011 and the last git commit was in 2010). Compiling Rudel from ELPA and from source both result in an error from the automatically generated rudel-loaddefs.el file.
Rather than an Org-mode specific solution, I think adopting Rudel or developing something similar which provides emacs-wide support for standard collaborative editing protocols (assuming any currently exist) would be the best way forward.

Moreover, looking around, I saw a few comparisons and comments in which other tools using the Obby protocol, which Rudel primarily supports, had negative light.
