This is a nice idea indeed. Some suggestions for your summer of code proposal: - have standard shapes that could be created in addition to freeform drawing - protocol integration with jabber using xep-0047 for data transmission - protocol integration with msn (the handwriting feature) Thanks -- Matt _______________________________________________ kopete-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kopete-devel
