SyncroEdit is another entry in the AJAX WYSIWYG word processor race.
Offering collaborative editing in the spirit of SubEthaEdit.
The project is open source so anyone that wants to add SynchroEdit features to their Web 2.0 app will be able to. Very nice! Currently in private Alpha stage.

One key point that people seem to be missing is that SynchroEdit is an open source project. This means that we are making available the source code, and publishing the protocol, so that this capability can be added to any web service or application.
Thus comparisons to JotLive and Writely are somewhat orthagonal. They are web services. If they wanted to, there is no reason why they couldn’t implement our source code as part of their product.
The goal of SynchroEdit is to offer the capabilitity of synchronous editing as broadly as possible.
