Real-time collab: Discover fellow editors on the same page

Description

• Motivation
  In the case of a larger editorial team, it would be beneficial to have a system that indicates whether a page is currently being 'edited.' This way, you can avoid any risk of losing valuable information.

• Proposal
  Display a small icon with the profile picture or letters, akin to Google Docs, accompanied by a brief notification (growl message) when another user is actively working on the same page. This feature ensures that editors are promptly informed of concurrent activity, allowing them to initiate communication through their preferred channels.

Very good idea.

Even in a small editorial team (2), this has been an issue.

I have just ported this module to Zotonic 1.x

https://github.com/mworrell/zotonic_mod_chatpage

This has a presence and chat-pages. @DorienD Shall we have a look at it and think of a nice way to make the presence better? I also would like to add some growl notifications if messages are received when the chat box is hidden.
