Operational Transform project for JavaScript implementation

"What is Firepad? Firepad is an open source real-time collaborative text editor. It provides true collaborative editing, complete with intelligent operational transform-based merging and conflict resolution. Some features include: Cursor position synchronization Undo & redo Text highlighting User attribution Presence detection Version checkpointing What can I do with Firepad? You can build any application that requires collaborative editing of text documents. Firepad supports both rich text and code editing out-of-the-box, and it's easy to extend for other use cases. How is Firepad different than other collaborative text editors? Most collaborative text editors require special code to run on a server, making them impractical to use if you're not already using the right server stack.
