Re: [school-discuss] Comics



Thanks. again, picking on Matt's idea, I was thinking wiki-style, i.e. async collaborative editing. that's why writing an XWiki plugin seemed like a good option.
I'm not sure a general-purpose sketching tool would cut the mustard. I have very limited graphical abilities, but would want to express myself in comic form. I'm envisioning a tool where charecters, props and speech / thought bubbles are atomic resources.

cheers,

Are you thinking of "real-time" collaborative, as in 2 or more people
looking at a shared space at the same time? Or are you thinking
non-linear collaborative where people see the same stuff but don't all
have to be online at the same time?

If you need real-time, look at http://coccinella.im/ for a chat client
with a shared whiteboard. I have not set this up (yet) but it looks like
it will do the trick.

Also, there is a great collaborative document tool that integrates
nicely with OpenOffice.org (and microsoft office as well) called
O3spaces. http://www.o3spaces.com/
