If you develop something like that, people (like me) might even PAY you for it... Not much of course :) But, really, if you make this, and let people use it on their own servers (awesome, instead of hosted), then you should also consider: Add native power-point rendering functionality. Most folks will be using power-point type presentations, so you could limit bandwidth and increase image quality by streaming just the instructions to a PPT api instead of the actual PPT images... Application sharing. You could let people control other people's computers (with permission of course). Encryption. Many (most?) business users won't use something like this without it. Of course, if you use SSL then you can get rid of firewall issues, right? But, if you're letting folks put this on their own servers, then this should be optional. API's. Many people will want to run it through other web-apps like dotproject, SugarCRM, and especially Learning Management Systems (like Moodle, Claroline, and commercial versions like Xtention [which gives you a free trial for testing]). Also, if you get into this, consider using SCORM. Check out adlnet.org. And then use the Reload SCORM player to test it. SPEED. The other java-based web-meeting clients I've seen are SLOW (compared to webex/livemeeting, gotomeeting, breeze). White-Board. There are already open-source whiteboards on sourceforge.net. You should look to see what other folks are already offering (though I haven't seen any that are open-source yet). Come to think of it, could you pursue grant money for this project if you say that it will be offered free-of-charge to educational institutions for distance-learning and collaboration? Also, ask me if you need any more ideas. I've been wanting an open-source webmeeting client for a long time. Ariel arieldoucette at netscape dot net

I'd certainly like to see an OSS Web Meeting server. Your blog is listed in the top 10 results for "open source web meeting" on Google. I currently use a hosted web conferencing system. It's nice but I'm concerned about privacy. I'd rather have something I can run on my own servers, even if it wasn't encrypted. I don't think I'd use any audio capabilities. I typically use a plain old telephone line for the audio. It always sounds better than VOIP. Really I just want to be able to share PowerPoint slides, Word documents, and have a white board. I don't even care much about IM.

I think a differentiator would be video capabilities. The ability to not only share applications, but also display video is something we are currently looking for in a Web Meeting Software package.

Our Team is looking for exactly what you are describing. Would need to have the following capabilities: * Video & Audio Conferencing * Application Sharing * Interactive Whiteboard * Text Chat * Picture Sharing * SAVING THE CONFERENCE FOR HISTORICAL / REVIEW PURPOSES! We would certainly be willing to purchase a product like this (one-time fee). If you ever get this going, or find a good alternative - please do let us know. Ryan

Hi all, Has the program which was described above been developed or not? Since i am interested in acquiring it to implement it in an open source project i am currently working on. I have been looking for different software packages, however I haven't found an application sharing software which allows specific applications only to be shared between members, the only thing which i came close to was using VNC. However this program seems ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated, best regards, roger

Have you checked out Dimdim? (disclaimer: I am part of Dimdim). Dimdim (dimdim.com) is an Open Source web meeting software which lets you share Presentations, Applications and the whole Desktop along with your audio and webcam video. The free, AD-supported hosted Beta (Jan 2007) will also include two-way audio and video while recording and archiving of sessions and a collaborative whiteboard will be added soon. Attendees don't have to install anything as everything works out of the browser.

I tried DimDim. Installed it on three different severs in an effort to get it to work. Major problems. I posted requests for help to their tech' support and never received a reply so I abandoned it. I am looking for an alternative.
