There's no need to gatekeep building something on already having knowledge.

If someone has time and energy and desire, not knowing anything about document editing or CRDTs is not a blocker. Those things can be learned in a week to a month by someone who dedicates time to it.

Very few parts of software are inaccessible to someone with basic CS knowledge. It's a great idea for people to try something, regardless of their background, and if they fail but learn something, that's still a fine outcome.
