Hi,
My name is Hiran, and I am using Inkscape for designing. I am using it for nearly 3+ years. I remember the old version having an option of Whiteboard. I haven't used it, as I don't had any collaborative works to do. But currently when I checked to use it, I found its removed from latest versions. When I asked in IRC, some one told me that "Pedro" module is removed since it needs from the scratch coding to work properly. I want to know more details. Is the old code available. Is any one working on the project, if someone, some students are ready to take this as an academic project, will there be anyone to mentor / help them. and so on.

I didn't know about the white board feature but it sounds like a great idea!

Yes, this was a great feature. However, it was only available in one release from what I recall. Currently the code still exists in the codebase and is just commented out and no one is working on it to my knowledge. About a year ago there was a bit of activity with http://code.google.com/p/inkboardng/ which was an attempt to resurrect the feature. The last updates to that project appear to be from last August though. Unfortunately, our internal copy has suffered from bitrot over time due to a number of changes throughout the past few releases. By no means could I guarantee a mentor, but if there were interested students and they spoke English it would be much more likely to find a mentor. If you or anyone you know has the coding knowledge and interest to want to pursue this, please feel free to drop into the irc channel or start a discussion on our developer mailing list.
Cheers, Josh
