Hi All,

I think it was William Astle who was looking for a WHiteboard app a 
couple weeks agao.  I know there were some great suggestions, but 
tonight I came across one that I don't think was mentioned.

The software is called Coccinella and the link is:
* http://www.thecoccinella.org/about

 From their main page:
Chat Client With a Built-in Whiteboard

Coccinella is a free and open-source cross-platform (Lin/Mac/Win) chat 
client with a built-in whiteboard for improved collaboration with other 
people. Other key features of Coccinella include:

     * File transfer
     * Plugin system
     * Group chat (MUC)
     * Avatars and emoticons
     * Multi-lingual and internationalized
     * Secured connections (TLS and SASL)
     * Open standard instant messaging protocol (*)

(*) Coccinella can connect to any Jabber/XMPP instant messaging server. 
You can either use a public server, or you can deploy your own server. 
In the latter case, you can opt to federate your server with the public 
Jabber/XMPP network.

I have not tested it, but a quick look at the screenshots and a few of 
the features seems to point to a farily nifty product.  I would be 
interested to hear about anyones experience with this software.  Maybe 
someone would like to do a presentation?

ALso of not eon that site is an annoucement that Crackbook with be 
switching its chat to the XMPP protocol.
