[clug] Open source collaborative online drawing tool

[Simon Pascal Klein]

A bunch of us just tried getting up a collaborative Inkscape session
after giving Abiword a test drive. Inkscape annoyingly does not use the
same connection and collaboration method: it talks to a Jabber server
and shares the data with other collaborators through that.

See http://inkboard.sourceforge.net/docs/UserManual.html#Sending%20a%
20whiteboard%20session%20invitation


Love to hear feedback and thoughts if you give it a try! Ta and toodles.
