Is this bound to latex or is there something like formatting plugins? Can the latex formatting be easily exchanged to handle markdown or a wiki style markup or anythig else?

A realtime frontend with a modular pandoc + git backend could finally solve many online editing pains.

Maybe you should check us out: www.authorea.com

We're pseudo-realtime by design, so you only will see collaborators' edits once they are saved. You will see which section or paragraph they are working on, but they have exclusive editing-rights to that element. There is already a git backend and markdown editing option.

We're working on git push/pull access, that should be coming very soon. Currently you can see/undo commits via what we call the newsfeed.
