WebRTC design

This week the WebRTC group has worked on an initial plan for basic functionality.
First of all we want to the users to be able to create rooms, private (possibly password protected) or shared. In a room two or more people can see/listen to each other and see/edit the shared workspace (the design of the workspace is still to be determined).
Users should also have the option to select their own name.

An example how our idea would work in practice:
Karl goes to our website and selects his name "Karl". He creates a room called "Room 1".
Another user which calls himself "Jonas" enters Karl's room. Now they can see and talk to each other while sharing the same desktop workspace!

The example described above.

On the client side our initial plan is to have to separate browser windows, one main window to show the conversation and another window to only display the workspace. The windows will need some way to communicate (window has been closed etc.).

We will start by using Google app engine for handling our webpage and the rooms.

We'll be back...
