<section1 topic="Introduction">
This document defines an XMPP protocol extension for editing one text document by several people.
This can be useful when several people write different parts of one single document, or
one person edits the text and other people can see the changes. The advantage of
using this protocol in compared to using a version control systems is that all
changes are distributed between editors in real-time.
</section1>
<section1 topic="Protocol description">
<p>
To start editing a file, the user must subscribe to it on special "server"
The server stores text files. A User first can ask for list of these documents.
</p>
<example caption="User asks the server list of editable texts"><![CDATA[<iq type='get' to='server' id='mute1'>
<list xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/mute#server'/>
</iq>]]></example>
<p>
After that the server returns a list of the documents. For each list
item an ID and description is given.
</p>
<example caption="Ancestor returns list of editable texts"><![CDATA[<iq type='result' to='editor1' id='mute1'>
<list xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/mute#server'>
<item id='id1' desc='Useful text'/>
<item id='id2' desc='Useless text'/>
</list>
</iq>]]></example>
<p>
Then the user can send a subscribe request to the server by sending the documents ID.
Attribute <tt>type</tt> can be <tt>rdwr</tt> for full access or
<tt>rdonly</tt> for read-only access.
</p>
<example caption="User sends subscribe request"><![CDATA[<iq type='set' to='server' id='mute2'>
<subscribe xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/mute#server'>
<item id='id1' type='rdwr'/>
</subscribe>
</iq>]]></example>
<example caption="Positive response from server on subscribe

<example caption="Negative response from server on subscribe
request"><![CDATA[<iq type='error' to='editor1' id='mute2'>
<subscribe xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/mute#server'>
<item id='id1' type='rdwr'/>
</subscribe>
<error code="405">Not Allowed</error>
</iq>]]></example>
<p>
After successful subscription, the server sends the full contents of the document to
the new editor.

If an editor wants to commit the changes he made, then he sends a patch file to this text
in GNU diff(1) unified format without first two lines (they specify file
names and modification dates, that is not needed).
