  Description     : graphical notepad for use with a pen tablet

`jscribble` is a graphical notepad with as many pages as you want. You
can organize your notes within notepads. Best used with a graphics
tablet or touchscreen.

Taking notes on paper allow you to draw and write whatever you want.
Some people are fast enough in LaTeX to set complicated formulas while
in a lecture.  Some prefer to draw these by hand but do not like
carrying lots of paper with me.

`jscribble` offers screen based note taking with as many pages as you
want.  [`Xournal`](http://xournal.sourceforge.net/) offers more features
but is paper size oriented which does not make sense on a 10" netbook
screen where one wants to use the whole screen for taking notes.

Another focus was set to avoid any mouse navigation. All you can do with
your mouse (or pen) is draw, therefore you cannot click anything
accidentially.  Navigation is done with the keyboard.

I am working on the packaging right now.
