I suggest to start playing with some collaborative editors like Google
Docs, Etherpad or maybe even AbiWord and so on. Then read something on
Operational Transform (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation for starters). Next
step would be reading something about Telepathy Tubes (start here
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/). Basically do a all-around research
:)

Remember that in the proposal you are supposed to show you understand what
you are going to do, providing mockups or drawings of your ideas would also
help ;)

Good luck!
