Hoe to use the inkboard
Hi, I've compiled from cvs enabling inkboard (with the --enable-inkboard parameter at configure time) but now I can't figure out how to use it.
Is there supposed to be a new menu or menu item to connecto to a Jabber server?
Thanks,

Yes, if you've compiled it correctly you should see a 'Whiteboard' section in your menubar.
I'd played with it a while back and it seemed fairly straightforward to figure out. The place I got hung up on was just establishing a connection with someone else. I never was able to share drawings with someone else. I know that people have been able to do it when connecting to another inkscape instance on their own machine, and I've heard anecdotes of others able to connect up, so I suspect it's possible, but apparently there's still some kinks to work out. I'm sure as more people test it out we can get it solidified better.

Strange, at the end of: ./configure --prefix=/var/opt --enable-inkboard
I get: <snip> Configuration:
Source code location: . Destination path prefix: /var/opt Compiler: g++ CPPFLAGS: CXXFLAGS: -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Woverloaded-virtual -Wswitch -Wno-unused-parameter -g -O2 CFLAGS: -Wall -W -Wno-pointer-sign -g -O2 LDFLAGS:
Use Xft font database: yes Use gnome-print: no Use gnome-vfs: yes Use openoffice files: yes Use MMX optimizations: yes Use relocation support: no Use Python extensions: skipped Use Perl extensions: skipped Enable Inkboard: yes
</snap> So it's supposed to be enabled but the "Whiteboard" menu doesn't appear (not even if I change to english locale). Any idea what I should look for at "make" time?
Thanks,
Lucas

Hmm... It's possible there's something you have to fiddle with in your preferences or menu.xml file; I forget the exact process, but I think it was mentioned on the mailing list a couple months ago. It would be worthwhile to ensure the process of enabling it is outlined in the ReleaseNotes.
