JAWS is a distributed whiteboard system written in the Java programming
language. Our team is composed of
Duke University
seniors,
Jeff Loughridge
and
Chris Jam Jenkins.
We began this project in September 1997 because we felt the existing
whiteboard applications on the Internet were nothing more than glorifed
demos. We knew the Java langauge was more than just a tool for little
WWW tricks and that a superior whiteboard could be built. JAWS is the
culmination of our year's work. We are quite proud of the result for its
stabilty and potential usefulness. Just as Netscape has now done, we release
the program and code to the Internet community. Feel free to modify it
and tell us what you think.
