Multiplayer has become the term of art for concurrent editing of the same data structure by multiple users.

Apparently not anymore, since a more "fun" word exists for multiple users of a calculator

"Multiplayer" seems like a weird term outside of video games, but I think it conveys multiple real-time concurrent users more than just "multi-user" would.
