Can x11 be useful on a conference call?
I seem to be on a conference call everyday where I have a horrible
time communicating what would be easy to demonstrate in person. I
keep thinking that we need to use one of our Debian work stations as a
VNC server and have everyone on the call log in and watch as the
presenter uses xterm, Firefox, and OpenOffice to lead their portion of
the call.
I think this would be extremely slow over VNC, and that having X11
instances of those apps would be better. What I'd like to know is if
multiple remote users could have access/control over a single Firefox
(and xterm, and OpenOffice) window. I'd like any individual to be
able to relocate the window on their screen where they like it. But
if they resize or scroll the window, it should effect all users. It
would be great if they could select/highlight text and it happen for
all remote users, but I bet there is a blur/system caret issue there.
Has anyone ever tried this? Right now they sometimes use WebEx on
Windows for this, but Not very often because of cost. The developers
are *Nix users. We should have a cooler geekier solution.
