Hi Vijayanand,<div> </div><div>To answer your questions directly.</div><div> </div><div>1. Yes Mono can run on the Mac. I would recommend you start development on Mono. I recommend you get hold of Mono Develop (<a href="http://monodevelop.com/Download">http://monodevelop.com/Download</a>) and Mono (<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html">http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html</a>).</div> <div>2. You can use Soapbox, but I am not sure if it will run on the Mac. I recommend you look at one of the *jabberds.</div><div>3. You can use agsXmpp. Keep in mind that you need a paid license if you are not using for a open source (GPL) project.</div> <div>4. There is no such thing as 'best' .Net language. Determine which you feel the most comfortable with. As far as agsXmpp goes the samples are C#.</div><div>5. Maybe a year to a year and a half. You will need to write the desktop/whiteboard/voip/video yourself. Mono has libraries that will help you hit the ground running in this regard.</div> <div> </div><div>You should rather look at appropriating one of the other open source projects - you will get quicker results.</div><div> -- Jonathan Dickinson <div class="gmail_quote">On 3 May 2010 07:57, Vijayanand.P <<a href="mailto:vijay.p@dwpractice.com">vijay.p@dwpractice.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"> <div> Hello, We have to develop a web conferencing application in .NET (that should be supported on Windows and Mac too) that supports <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">Voice & Video chat and conference</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">File sharing</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">Desktop sharing </li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">Whiteboard </li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">Voice/Video recording</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">Should be able to be integrated with SIP/VOIP gateways and LDAP</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="color:blue">Should support IP Mulitcast and Unicast</li> </ol> Could someone suggest on the following?
