The common suggestion is to use a shared "GNU Screen" session:

http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/browse_thread/thread/f502e7783038d484/c4603374d2e752b2

to do collaborative editing in Vim. However, it's a bit tricky
because it's modal, so if one person changes modes, the other
person has to adapt accordingly.

There's been a small pocket of interest in adding this feature,
but I don't think anything came of it yet.
