Caleb, another wish to make it production ready: include a good "debug dump" function so that users can produce reports when testing it.
We've been trying the earlier version of the real-time-editor (it's still there actually) and had quite an amount of surprising effects; some of them may be related to paste, but not only. I had the impression of regularly meeting a garbage state at the server, where different clients had different views (we were speaking in Skype). The only way I could fix the inconsistency was to restart the server. Hence the suggestion of a stronger reporting facility so that such critical situations can be reported about and tackled in a maturation cycle out in the wild. paul Le 8 févr. 2014 à 10:39, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hi Caleb, > > I’ve just tried and it works well!
