Hi,

Inspired by jabber_whiteboard's idea and work, I woundered that whether there is a way to integrated inkscape with pidgin, so that we can share the common part of IM, like:

http://inkboardng.googlecode.com/svn/images/intro01.png

Then I setup a program to try it, here:

http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/

The program structure idea is illustrated as:

After months of works, now, it has working demos:

http://people.debian.org.tw/~mat/inkboard/r100.htm

The program is under developing, also encounter some problems that not easy to solve myself.
( I would like to describe in another letter, include the progress I made and the problem it has )
However, I would like to share the program here first, to see whether there is someone also like it, and to see whether it's possible to contribute this work to inkscape project in the future?

If you are interested in the program, and willing to build it by yourself, I suggest to start from DeveloperManual here:

Any question or suggestion? I'm looking forward... :-)

sincerely, Mat.
