[Building Sakai] Concurrent Editing for Sakai 3

[Noah Botimer]

This is very exciting to me. I've had "annotation" or "marking up" in  
my wish-list for quite a while. It's a hard problem and established  
projects with open source like this and ShiftSpace get us a good bit  
closer.

I also find it interesting that so much of EtherPad is in JavaScript.  
It looks like the concurrency/persistence bits are in Scala, but  
there is a ton of JS, including the main app control and templates  
for the core UI. Maybe there are some tricks to pick up here.

Thanks,
-Noah
