The Semi-synchronous Groupware Problem
February 29, 2004 ~ 22:09
One of the reasons why I got this job at MIT was because I was familiar with distributed workgroups. The group is spread between the USA and the UK, which requires a very different mindset if we want to achieve any reasonable speed in operativity. So, I'm the workgroup infrastructure guy here, I bought a new development box and I'm going to install all the software we need for out group to operate.
I'm obviously cloning the groupware functionalities that theASF infrastructure is using, but I came across a problem that the ASF infrastructure still hasn't approached because it is hardly encountered: what if you need to (and you can!) be a little bit more synchronous?
