Description groot 2004-05-13 00:10:22 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Kontact lacks a whiteboard where several people can connect to a common
destination and draw/write on the same canvas with everyone seeing the
updates in (near) realtime.
Groups collaborating virtually frequently wish they could just jot down a
quick drawing to show the others what they have in mind, just as they would
do on a whiteboard in a meeting room or the back of a napkin in a pub. This
functionality is available in applications such as MS Netmeeting and Aethera,
but not currently in KDE/Kontact.

See also bug #79911, for a request to do this through jabber instead of rfb, and http://pim.kde.org/development/janitor_jobs/index.php at the bottom for the original job description.

I've started implementing this already by modifying KolourPaint...

Comment 2 Nathan Toone 2004-09-02 21:02:27 UTC

Is anyone working on this?

I would probably be interested in helping out with it.

Comment 3 Malte Böhme 2004-09-03 22:19:54 UTC

I also would like to help... this is something defenitively missing in kde...
and i would also like to use something like this in my video-converence programm in the (far) future...
so, is there someone actually working on this?

Comment 7 Shyam 2005-06-09 21:20:17 UTC

I've already done one using Qt. If anyone can help, I'd like to make it as required.

Comment 8 Tobias Koenig 2005-08-17 01:49:32 UTC

The common goal: whiteboarding, doesn't matter how...
