Have you checked out OOo's revision management and versioning features? This might work for you. As I interpret what you are asking, there is no facility for more than one person to work on the same file at the same time, just like MSO. By the same token, OOo revision management will allow merging of different versions and versioning does allow for versions to be kept in the file so you should be able to manage collaboration without the need for being on the same filestore.
