######### REGISTRATION DETAILS ######### 

Full Name:
----------
  blackboard

System Group Name:
-----------------
  blackboard

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software &amp; documentation

License:
-------- 
  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  A Blackboard control software for the control of an e-Paper blackboard that
can recognize the pen position like a graphics tablet.
The first stage will aim to provide a pure software solution, displaying a
blackboard as a desktop application and using the mouse as the pointing
device.
The second stage is to design custom hardware for such a blackboard. The
board would aim to be operable without an attached computer. In this mode the
board would only offer basic functions (write, erase, move, page, draw curves,
vectorize, zoom, OCR) and, possibly, the execution of small Java applets
stored in the board's onboard computer. The board would allow to be attached
to a more powerful computer by USB or FireWire and allow this computer to
render on the board as a specialized display device.
The board could be made of stackable tiles with a standardized resolution.
The board could be made to be usable without power, if a pen device can be
designed that can modify the state of e-Paper without an active controller.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  The software projects depends on the Java core libraries.
The hardware projects depends on libgcj and an embedded operating system,
e.g. uLinux.


Other Comments:
---------------
  There is no source code yet.
