SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics and a "whiteboard" is a blank slate used to draw or write on. An implementation of a whiteboard on a webpage requires a format, and this is generally a vector-based format (Flash, SVG) as opposed to a raster format. Flash is not opensource, hence its development has fast been outpaced by the open XML based SVG format.

[edit] AJAX SVG editor

There are now some working 'proof of concept' Ajax based (ie: 'in browser') SVG editors. http://www.xdraw.org/xdhTest.html is an example and the tools used to create it are in the process of being integrated into the open source dojo ajax library (under the dojox.gfx namespace).

--I'm currently investigating integrating something similar into mediawiki.. I'm relatively new to mediawiki, so it's difficult to judge the best integration point for such a tool. Ivar 08:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

--I'm developing a diagram editor to integrate with MediaWiki. Doing it as a Scientific Initiation project at University of São Paulo and sponsored by FAPESP, a government research foundation of São Paulo, Brazil. A prototype version is available at here. Get in touch, I'll be glad to answer any questions or show my works. 09 April 2008. Filipe Grillo ( filipe.grillo "at" gmail.com )
