I know this has been brought up before, but I wanted to toss out another reason for the ability to give multiple the ability to edit a Realm, especially as it leads to a few other related suggestions I hadn't thought of before now. Authors would be able to make great use of this feature when co-developing a world (some anthologies, for instance, are built around a common world all of the authors help to develop).

Related suggestions are as follows:

Multiple Story Almanacs: Assign a separate Almanac to each author so they can develop simultaneously. Since links cross Almanacs, they'll be easily able to search for topics other authors are creating, allowing for as tight (or loose) an overlap as desired.

Author ID tag for each snippet: When specific material (character, location, etc.) is being jointly developed, knowing who is responsible for each piece might be valuable. {This would be a great place for authors to chime in with advice.}.

Pretty sure I had a few others, but they've disappeared for the time being. Feel free to use these as a jumping-off point for more suggestions, and if any of my wayward thoughts return I'll add them as well.

Support for multiple authors has been designed in, but it hasn't been fully implemented. There are a lot of complexities that arise from having multiple people concurrently authoring content within the same campaign. What if UserA and UserB both make changes to the same content and then sync to the server? What if UserA should only have access to certain parts of the campaign and not to others, while UserB has access to a different subset and UserC has access to everything?

All of this is part of the plan (and built into the design), but it's going to take us some time to get it all implemented.
