What I need would be an open source server with client packages for Vi and Emacs (maybe other editors too) so I can collaborate with my evil friends. Any Idea of such a server? (note: I know floobits exists, but it is not open source, as far as I know)

There's also gotty, which lets you share your shell access over https. I've used tmux together with it, to show a simple thing to a friend and it worked quite well. https://github.com/yudai/gotty

Similarly, there's tmate which sets up a shared tmux session and proxies the SSH connection so it works through NAT without issue. If you don't trust the connection going through tmate.io you can set up your own server.

how about tmux? screen? or do you need more than those?

We can't edit the same file in Emacs and Vim at the same time using these.
