I am in a similar position--but we don't have white boards, just tablets. I also wonder if any "tablet type" software addon or whatever might be in the pipeline. And if not can it be added. If Mr. Gates says that tablets are the way "it is going to go" it would be nice to have an MS alternative. I am not a coder or engineer, but I will assist in any other way.

I am an ICT / Computing teacher currently trying to pave the way for OOo2 introduction into my school. We have invested heavily in Smartboards / Interactive whiteboards / Starboards / tablet PCs etc and are conducting staff training in these areas. An area I find useful with these devices is the ability to annotate over Word / PPT etc (through Office 03 digital ink facility), and I recently bought a graphics tablet to practice / develop similar OO strategies and techniques at home. I can use the 'highlight' function successfully in Writer but when using 'draw line' to write notes on top of documents I can only write one letter at a time since OO reverts to the 'select' mode rather than draw. I was hoping to create a customised toolbar using macros or whatever to mimic the functions I need, but was wondering if anyone else knows of a similar attempt already underway with OO development, or if there is any attempt to integrate Digital Ink in OO in the future?
