Just as Gobby editor, it leaves connecting issues to the
administrator, it does not solves it itself. It is external issue.

Collaboration will be first taking place within local networks within
organizations. For example people connected to Wi-Fi access points or
wired networks.

Then between persons just as gaming peer to peer, it is possible to
expose port on the router.

Then there are solutins with tunneling and SSH port forwarding, then
directly by setting up Emacs as server remotely without port forward.
