Abstract: Collaborative layouting occurs when a group of people simultaneously defines the layout of a document at the same time into a coherent set of meaningful styles. This activity is characterized by emergence, where the participants’ shared understanding develops gradually as they interact with each other and the source material. Our goal is to support collaborative layouting in a distributed environment. To achieve this, we first observed how face-to-face groups perform collaborative layouting in a particular work context. We report about the design and evaluation of a system which provides a large workspace and several objects that encourage emergence in collaboration conflicts. People edit documents that contain the raw text and they enhance the readability by layouting this content.

TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-implemented method for presenting a document for interaction with a user in a web browser includes accessing an electronic model of the document, determining, with a computing device, positions for items in a visual rendering of the electronic model based on relative sizes and positions of other items in the model, and generating, with the computing devices, a document object model (DOM) that defines an editing surface, wherein the DOM (a) places placing the items at the determined positions on the editing surface and (b) places a graphic element that represents a cursor

TL;DR: This paper proposes a radically different approach, centered on natively representing text in fully-fledged databases, and incorporating all necessary collaboration support, and shows that such an approach--against first-glance scepticism, something often used as a killer argument--is indeed feasible with respect to efficiency.
