Desktop sharing between collaborators with VNC applets ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-1780 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1780 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Wiki Reporter: Christian Bauer Assigned To: Christian Bauer This can be implemented as a wiki plugin, let's call it "Share my desktop". If I include this plugin on my wiki homepage (as a user), I can click the "Share my desktop" button and a popup with a VNC _server_ applet opens in a new popup. Other uses who navigate to my homepage now see that I currently share my desktop. They can ping me if they want access with a simple button click. I will see this as a notification in my "Share my desktop" popup window. If I allow access, a VNC _client_ applet popup opens on their side and we can look at (and possibly control) my desktop. Combined with a chat feature this should be quite useful. Especially if we hack the VNC server to only serve a selected portion of the screen, for usability and bandwidth reasons.
