There use to schemes to provide flexible locking to allow multiple people to edit documents located on the same local network. Never liked it nuch but others did. I expect that it is possible to develop and achieve shared documents and concurrent editing etc without Google. Maybe dust off old concepts etc.

Yeah, it's very possible! And I firmly believe that you would need to bring these features for broad adoption.

It would require a server and open source software. You dont need anything crazy for it.

Most of the software already exists. You only need to put them together.
