I'd be happy to help you test Inkboard. I'm most interested to see if it could someday be used as a whiteboard application for an online classroom environment like Moodle (http://www.moodle.org). Before I get started I have two questions. Is it possible to build Inkboard on Win32?
I think it is, though I've admittedly not tried it, due to a lack of Windows machines for me to test on. Ted Gould will probably be able to answer this better than I.
The original Inkboard development team did demo their software on Windows. I can't remember if they were using Windows as an X terminal or really running the software on Windows, but I'll ask them for further details.
Can we use the gristle.org Jabber server?
In theory any Jabber server should work; the Inkboard team demonstrated their software using just that. Implementation-wise, code to compensate for rate limiting is built into Inkboard, so rate limiting should not pose a major problem -- it'll just slow things down a bit.
I disabled rate limiting on my internal Jabber server because I wanted fast results :) I'd love to hear how it works with other Jabber servers, though.
