Hi Joel, I have think one scenario where what you ask is possible.
>>...OT would only have to be applied in one or the other (presumably the >>server)?.. Where no divergence exists between client(s) and server, like when you have one 'Editor' and a lot of 'Readers', (broadcast concept) We have one case on wave-vs.net where we apply Locking to document to avoid concurrent changes, (not enforced using wave). This scenario does not use OT as no conflict can occur at all when there is only one people working on document. regards Jesus Salas wave-vs.net On 8 ago, 09:53, Joel Dietz <[email protected]> wrote: > On a technical note, I've never quite understood why OT needs to be > performed on both the server and client, except the presumed latency between > one and the other.
