So I was wondering if there might be a way to accomplish at least
some of the functionality of EtherPad using Vim -- multiple people
editing the same document with changes reflected on everyone's screen
in real-time. There's DocSynch [5] and some mention of integrating
it with Vim [6], but that project seems to be inactive.
Thoughts?

If two or more people are logged onto the same user account (via ssh
or whatever). Then one person runs screen and the other person runs
screen -x (which will connect to the original instance of screen).
Then what is being typed will show up on both peoples screens. You can
use vim this way to edit documents. But this isn't really what the OP
wants because the two will have to take turns, especially since vim is
modal. I believe that the OP wants a way to only share buffers, which
would be a non-trivial task.
