What’s a white board? We know next to nothing about what you’re trying  
to do here. Explain what you’re doing and what you want to achieve and  
we may be able to help.

Hey,  
thanks for offerring help,

I am trying to share applications, and data using ruby on rails.  
There will be a peer to peer network and one will be able to collabrate  
with another person or group of people and share Ideas. Inshort a  
shared workspace for a limited group of users to execute events as  
projects.It effectively provides communication & collaboration tools  
that enable management and execution of the project.Cllaboration tools:  
Document review, Document sharing, File Sharing, Application Sharing,  
Project Portfolio Management, White Boarding, Note Board, Discussion  
Board.  
While board has Drawing tools. When I draw at my end the other person  
can view and also draw. A common drawing board for two or more people.  
Basecamp provides While boards but apis are not availbale.

I hopw this gives you some idea as to what I am trying to ask.

Your help will be appreatiated

Thanks  
sapzzz

You will need additional software such as a javascript / java / flash  
file that will run on the client side and I’m afraid I can’t help you  
there. Good luck.
