Was reading a new Guillame Laforge post about Algorithms for collaborative editing. Got me reading about vector clocks which I knew nothing about. It is a really nice idea.
I would like to write a simple groovy implementation.
Of course reading more lead me to great articles further explaining:

Which led me to an interesting open source distributed database. A Grails plugin exists, not sure how mature it is
