My 2 cents:

make-frame-on-display is a real-time, multiple person edit.
You need an X server on all the machines.

It is also only for people who REALLY trust each other.  Once you give
someone an emacs frame on their display, you also give them a shell.
They can do anything you can do.  They are logged in as you.

auto-revert-mode is almost real time.  You can set it to revert every
second if you like.  It slows a bit with NFS mounting.  But, people
won't see your edits instantly as you do them.  And it's best for one
writer at a time.  Last write wins.
