Comments on: Collaboration http://blog.hashbangbash.com/index.php/2007/09/20/collaboration/ a place for me to keep track of my revalations, or passing fancies at least Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:43:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: David Wilkins http://blog.hashbangbash.com/index.php/2007/09/20/collaboration/comment-page-1/#comment-2 David Wilkins Thu, 20 Sep 2007 20:02:22 +0000 http://blog.batts.mine.nu/?p=3#comment-2 I've seen this be the case with a lot of "collaboration" suites. WebEx, for instance, allows you to record sessions, save whiteboards, etc. True, you can do all of this on Linux, but once you save the whiteboard (locally), there's no way to view it on Linux. Windows has a viewer, but WebEx is unwilling to enable this functionality for Linux. Boo! Hiss! Where is the FLOSS WebEx? We need it, badly. There are several technologies (Google Write/Writely?) that come part of the way, but we need an integrated solution. Can Asterisk play this role? It's got the telephony part solved.
