[AG-TECH] Announcement: Shared Desktop v0.1b

[Todd Zimmerman]

Hello All,

I've just finished a new AG Shared App that I've called 'Shared Desktop'.

In WestGrid, we needed a tool to allow for simple desktop sharing - to 
facilitate sharing of PDF's, powerpoints, spreadsheets, etc.  Since 
building a shared app for every possible application on multiple platforms 
sounded like a lot of work ;-), I decided to rework and extend the existing 
VenueVNC shared app - to give users the ability to easily share their 
desktop's with other collaborators.

The Shared Desktop app listens for other users to share their desktop via
VNC - then offers these desktops to the user. It also allows the user to 
easily share their own desktop with the other connected sites.  I've 
attached a screenshot of Shared Desktop in action....

You can download this software from
http://www.westgrid.ca/support/collab/research-agshareddesktop.php

I'll also be making it available on the new AG-Central site shortly.

Remember...this is _beta_ software - so if you have any comments, 
suggestions or bug reports, please email.


Todd
