Non libinfinity, Teletype, Tandem or any other seem to be very active
these days... which is making me to reconsider if invest time on this
worth it... as... why are the other approaches abandon not only in
emacs. Maybe the feature is not as useful as I think on it...

I want to try Rudle first to see if it fit some minimal "needs". That
it:

1) Not require modem/routers special configurations to open ports or
have a static IP.

2) Use CRDT instead of OT

3) It could be integrated with other editors to create "mix" sessions. I
mean, it doesn't enforces some emacs specific features and plugins could
be created for other editors.

Said that; Tandem already have all that + it also uses json that have
been improved in emacs recently... BUT requires Python+nodeJS in the
user side... so IMO it is not a no op. I would prefer a simpler C
library/executable as the client that could be integrated with emacs and
distributed for the other editors.

So far the only problem I find with libinfinity is that it totally lacks
documentation.
