Collaborative editing is the practice of groups producing works together through individual contributions. Most usually it is applied to textual documents or programmatic source code. Such asynchronous contributions are very efficient in time, as group members need not assemble in order to work together. Generally, managing such work requires software; the most common tools for editing documents are Wikis, and those for programming, version control systems.

The Gobby collaborative editor aims to be very similar to SubEthaEdit, and is cross platform and open source.
In collaborative TV productions in particular, the director, producer, loggers and editors, who all contribute to the video post-production process, can be physically separated.
Modern web-based non-linear editing systems allow collaborativeediting of video, similar to the way in which collaborative text editors have worked for text.
More importantly, the very notion of collaborativeediting was most likely inspired, to some extent, by open source software.
The concept of open source software is that anyone can modify the source code of a program and therefore improve it, remove bugs, or add features that other developers might not have thought of.
There is also a link to Wikinews, a news source which combines other news sources to produce single articles from a neutral point of view.
