Diagram Editor for Google+ Hangouts

More information: http://goo.gl/w0CtN

The Diagram Editor for Google+ Hangouts enables you to collaboratively create diagrams with your friends while you videochat with them in a Google+ Hangout: Everyone can contribute to the diagram and everyone sees your edit in realtime. It feels like all your friends are hanging out in the same conference room editing the diagram on a giant whiteboard without the need for being in the same physical location.

The project is based on the processWave.org Editor, a project I worked on at my university in a team with six other students. The processWave.org Editor was originally designed for Google Wave, but I decided to adapt it for Google+ Hangouts using the new APIs.

Very cool (I posted on your blog about it). Another question, how do you save/keep track of your changes? In Wave you had the inbox, so what's the equivalent on G+?

[MGoderbauer]

@Octamed That is a good question. I don't have an answer for that yet.

How do I get to use this?

[MGoderbauer]

@madsgorm The diagram editor will be available once Google releases the Hangouts API to the general public. As of today, Google hasn't announced a date for that.

@MGoderbauer hmm, that seems like a pretty big thing for G+ to sort out. Wave also had the history scrubber which I presume is missing also. At least the Apache wave guys are still working on the Wave In A Box project.

Also I really wish the G+ comments system worked more like wave. It amazes me that anyone could think a giant flat list of comments is good :|

Nice riff off of G+ sketchpad ... great sound track too! :) ... looks like a great tool!
