We are currently working full time on our project of integrating the ORYX editor into Google Wave. We aim to provide a fully featured real-time collaborative diagram editor. Here's a quick rundown of what we have accomplished so far:
Real-time collaboration
Your diagram is kept in sync over all of the connected clients which means that you can see the actions of remote users just as they are being performed. Adding new users to a modeling session in progress is a breeze: Just invite them to your current Wave.
Distributed Undo and Redo
Users expect modern applications to provide undo and redo functionality. Though this is significantly harder to implement for a collaborative and distributed application, we have found a reliable and intuitive way to make undo work just as you would expect it to do in a single-user application.
Farbrausch - easy user identification by colors
To make tracking changes easy, all model elements cast colored shadows. Because each user has a unique color associated with them, it is very easy to see which shape was edited by whom. If you want to know more, a tool tip will provide you with further information.
