Current solutions to support co-authoring of documents focus on
building new systems for participants who are assumed to be
connected permanently by a network. We propose an alternate
approach, that copes with heterogeneous editing systems and
increasing usage of mobile/handheld devices. Each person is allowed
to use its favorite editor for isolated as well as for cooperative
work. This is achieved by using a global standardized document
format and a suited platform. By choosing a wide spread platform,
the flexibility to constitute arbitrary teams in spontaneous manner
is increased. To treat the mobility problem, participants have
representatives in a static part of the network. A prototypical
implementation is presented connecting Emacs with LaTex mode to a
distributed document environment based on SGML and CORBA.
