Proposal for crdt.el improvement, for collaborative real-time editing
in Emacs:

- polish the code, propose it to main stream Emacs inclusion, add the
  license 

- let each user customize their username in collaborative
  client-server connection, just as Gobby editor is doing it. Without
  such feature none of the users will know who is the other user.

- make sure that it can be started remotely on public Internet server
  through SSH client, where each of users would then connected. (Those
  who start it in local network or through VPN would know how to do
  it.)

- make sure that it can also start through Tor

- enable secure connection or any kind of other encryption of the
  stream, as otherwise data is leaking, Gobby editor is using locally
  generated certificates

- enable server to have password, so that not every user without
  password can connect, just as Gobby editor is doing it.
