For your consideration:

It’s an AFCS Whiteboard like you haven’t seen.
It has:
1. Any UIComponent(s) can be added to the whiteboard
a. Canvas
b. Panel
c. Flv player
d. Tab Navigator
e. Slider
f. … any

2. UIComponents can be drug onto the whiteboard form ‘user’ space (and visa versa);

3. UIComponents can be nested in this process.
a. Drag and drop a TabNavigator (with plank panels);
b. Navigate to a panel
c. drop any item from (1) , rinse and repeat

4. Multiple Whiteboads.

The result is that AFCS white boards can become:

1. Organized with out penalty.
2. Allowed to become very, very deep without being crowded or complicated (with good usability/design of course)
3. Become multi-session /multi audience ( you can imagine a back-stage area(s) and an onstage area(s))
4. Imagine the Aviary tools or photoshop express in a whiteboard. Entirely possible now.

It’s *total* nonsense that Google should be cornering the collaboration buzz. I’d like to have a Collaboration Smack Down.

I’ve reached out to Fang & Nigel at AFCS with my development. And there maybe some collaboration there, but I want to cast a wider net within Adobe. I’ve got a number of ideas which would make great research vehicles, developments and product. That’s why I’m reaching out to you and other Adobe luminaries.
