xScribble

xScribble is our final year mini project. It is the result of us wanting to create a project which is simple, cute, and moreover, which can be actually used by everyone.

xScribble is a Googletalk client which enables graphical chat functionality. Two users in a chat session can draw on a common canvas simultaneously. This is an attempt at making the on-line conversations more expressive and productive.

Now the Internet chats are going to be colourful, fun, and creative with this simple application.

Development
xScribble is still in its alpha version. This means that it only incorporates the minimal functionality for a Gtalk client.
As most of the effort has been spent on developing the graphical chat, it still needs improvements as a chat client. Send in your feedback about the most necessary features to be added, about general improvements, and also about the bugs that you encounter while using the program.
Your feedback will help us provide a better software in the next version upgrade.
Important: Check the missing features in this test version in the version review below. Some of the notable missing features are listed, along with the priority with which they shall be worked upon. Let me know your feedback on the same - any further features or how badly you need a certain feature to be implemented in the next version.
