whiteboard
About
Whiteboard is an experimental toy for GNU Emacs. It allows two remote emacs users to:
- chat (similar to IRC)
- share files via rsync
- share buffers for taking notes or developing code snippets. this is like having a private lisppaste server.
More features are planned. Please keep in mind, at this stage Whiteboard is an immature and experimental program. There are known bugs. Use at your own risk.
