Our plan is to do it on the XMPP protocol. There is a POC we wrote for Pidgin at: <a href="http://www.rohanjain.in/blog/whiteboarding-with-xmpp-google-talk/#updates" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); ">http://www.rohanjain.in/blog/whiteboarding-with-xmpp-google-talk/#updates</a>. You might pick up the repository from: <a href="https://github.com/dcrodjer/pidgin_whiteboard" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); ">github.com/dcrodjer/pidgin_whiteboard</a></div>
<div>Now we are concentrating on a standard protocol for the same.</div><div>The problem that we are basically facing is that there is no accepted protocol, and most of the XEP's are not recommended, or diverge in ways that it is difficult to choose one. When I say most, they include:</div>
<div><a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0284.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); ">http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0284.html</a></div><div><a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0228.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); ">http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0228.html</a></div>
<div><a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0113.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); ">http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0113.html</a></div><div><a href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/whiteboard2.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112); ">http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/whiteboard2.html</a></div>
<div>What we would like to know from the community is that, which of the protocols are really going in production into various whiteboards for XMPP. I would assume gajim, coincella and the like have implemented some versions of the same! Also considering interoperability into account, which of the XEP's are the best to go ahead with.</div>
<div>Hope to hear from you soon.</div></span><div dir="ltr"><div><br><br></div><div><a href="http://www.rohanjain.in/" target="_blank">Rohan Jain</a></div></div><br>
