Hello Maxim, thanks for support. My point was we still keep flash whiteboard and video with new book. The video is separated already. The board can be embedded with object tag without iframe
One more note - when I say ¨android address book" I mean search utilities at the first place. Peter, our contacts in the book are like jabber contacts - a jabber server (or server component) will maintain them for each user. The server also provides basic contact exchange functionality. Unless we found a smaller one, we can use openfire server. I like the idea of common address book but it will NOT work in iframe so it can be resolved in 3.0 only On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 2:48 PM, Alexei Fedotov <[email protected] >wrote: > Hello folks, Sebastian, > > I suggest the new concept for openmeetings.
