Could you use CrowdAnki for your collaboration? See the part that reads How to collaborate via Github.

Please let me know if that works for you. A superficial look at CrowdAnki's issues list doesn't show me any blockers, but I have not really tried to use CrowdAnki.

This is a good idea, but it currently can't be implemented elegantly within this minor mode.

The approach of using a specialized field for alternative identity requires a companion Anki add-on and this package to make a convention on which field to use.
In addition, although it may seem to be no difference between using note id and using a field for identity from a user's perspective, querying a note by field is much slower than by note id in the sqlite database, as it doesn't have the advantage of using indexes that note id has.

If you really want to collaborate with Org documents, I have a few ideas that might help:

1. git allows you to stage changes by hunk, which could be easily achieved by magit within Emacs, so you can commit the changes without note ids.
2. Share the decks along with Org documents.

@louietan : I hadn't considered these technical problems. Thank you for your informative response and your hint at an alternative solution. I will definitly experiment. Thank you again for fixing my other issues.

@JayDugger: Thanks for the link. I think this is a great project but I don't like working with json. I hoped that an expansion of this tool would be a quick fix ...
