[Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Groupthink 0.1 pre-alpha

[Martin Edmund Sevior]

Hi David,
         How do you solve "internet lag". 

User A puts a character "A" in position 10, then before user B see sees this (because of the finite propagation time), he puts character "B" in position 10?

Who wins? You just have to make sure the the document remains the same for both users.

Cheers!

Martin

This sounds like a great foundation for a sugar framework... something
that not only coders can get a feel for...

kind Regards,
David Van Assche
