"Jitter" in non-multimedia collaborative applications

Definition: Bursty traffic. Lost sense of presence, sense of time.
Occurs as a result of not being able to maintain the timing information between events from the original sequence of actions taken by the user.
Buffering with some minimum time delay between events might be the simplest approach to this problem.
A scheme using Goopeel's Loggables and Logger
- Have local events sent to a sender. This sender is a Logger which will log all events coming in. When logging these events there will be some time information logged with each event.
- At a certain time (in periodic intervals, or as a background process) the sender empties out it's content to the remote sites(more like a dump).
- On the remote site, the receiver accepts these dumps.
- The receiver will playout the events taking into account the timing information so that the events are played out in a recognizable manner.
- The playouts can be done at some time, either periodic intervals, or as a background process.
