 The purpose of this API is to simulate bidirectional connection between
 the browser and the server. Initially it will be used for autosave, post
 locking and log-in expiration warning while a user is writing or editing.

 The idea is to have a relatively simple API that sends XHR requests to the
 server every 15 seconds and triggers events (or callbacks) on receiving
 data. Other components would be able to "hitch a ride" or get notified
 about another user's activities.

 In the future this can be used to block simultaneous editing of widgets
 and menus or any other tasks that require regular updates from the server.
