Even with something like Jabber, out of the box you can't connect peer to peer, it needs to be routed through something. It would not surprise me if the collaborative editing also streamed over Jabber to leverage a central server hosted at Kanai. Now, given that, if there WERE to be some central service necessary, is that something that Apache would be comfortable with hosting or is that out of scope. Since they can't host the code, (i.e. assuming you can get your hands on the source, Apache can't import it due to licensing), Apache would have essentially no involvement at all, so there would be no impetus for Apache to host any central infrastructure for such a facility. But, even if there were an aspect delivered by Apache Netbeans, I don't know if hosting something like the Jabber (or whatever) infrastructure is something that they would want to do.
