Fantastic to hear from you. As a full time academic researcher I can expertly say the best resource for anything computer science is here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation. I'm not expecting you to be a genius at on this topic before you start, what is important is you understand the complexities involved in building a collaborative editor and hopefully you can start to have a bit of a think about what you need to do to work round this problem, and in your official proposal plan your timescales accordingly. In terms of other things, it's worth trying to learn a bit about Telepathy (http://gnomejournal.org/article/86/telepathy-overview), Stream/Dbus Tubes, and maybe joining us on IRC at #kde-telepathy and maybe helping fix a few things in KDE Telepathy so you get to know our code and we get to know you a bit better. One of our best developers in our team came from working on Digikam so you're looking promising already :) Keep in touch.
