For my two cents: I would be pleased to see a snazzy little red star or some-such beside a page or snippet (on the list pages/list snippets) which is currently being edited by someone else. Maybe with the name of the other user in a mouseover? That way I could decide to do something else, or check with the other user for clearance.
At the moment, Jens is "digitally restricted" (ie. his fingers are not allowed to click/type outside of his area) to the German pages and I stick to the English side. This works too. Happy Tuesday!
