UserStory

Robert and Susy were editing a note together in Roundcube Notes when Robert gets called to a meeting.
When he returns, he opens the web browser tab with Roundcube Notes and sees that Susy is still editing the note thanks to an 'edit session active' icon in the notebook listing next to the note Susy is currently working on.

Apart from the semantically different content types, I would suggest that this is the same type of API call for Manticore to implement, as already suggested in T725#10210.

While Manticore would concern itself with "documents" -- of whichever type the editor supports --, it may let the client (chwala, roundcube's plugins) concern itself with what (type of documents' sessions) to display where and how (i.e. application operating context and icon).

Should a concern become, a call to /sessions/list becomes to large a list for a client application to handle in aggregate, then a /session/list?type=note could be added for the list appropriate for the contextual view in the consuming application.

This is already possible. I think handling non-file documents (e.g. notes) is out of scope of this ticket.
