Shared Whiteboard Using GTK Or QT?
Matts writes: "I work from home with a number of people from the U.S. (I live in Scotland). One thing I miss about an office is the ability to discuss things over a whiteboard. So I've been looking all over the Net for some sort of shared whiteboard facility so that I can work very quickly with short bits of text and/or drawings. The text bit is very important there. Unfortunately the only products I've found are either old and require Motif and other huge libraries, commercial, or written in Java." Many of us communicate best when we can draw pictures, and being able to scribble and chart over the Net using such an app is an extraordinary idea, especially for those of us working in the "Virtual Office".
"Other ones I've found are an add-on for mIRC (which I didn't even look at because I don't use Windows), and one called wb which appears to be part of the Mbone tools, which I couldn't find the source for and the binary for Linux wouldn't run. What I'm really after is something for either the Gnome or KDE toolkits, although straight GTK+ or QT would be just fine. Surely someone in the open source community has thought of this before - these were hot ideas when I was in university and everyone was building one!"
