KDE wants your input

[David Groos]

I'm not familiar at all with this software but have been thinking about
something to work with this 'open source' interactive white board by Jonny
Lee :-)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgKCrGvShZs&feature=related (please
excuse the 20 seconds of ads at the start--it really is amazing, though, if
you haven't seen it.)  Would this software work with something like that?
Not only is the Wii 'smartboard' extremely affordable, it solves the size
limitation of smartboards and promeathean boards.  Thanks, David
