Webfoot VNC Collaboration

Welcome to the WPI Environment Built For Object-Oriented Teams (WEBFOOT) VNC Collaboration.

Webfoot is an on-going project that delivers several tools to help teams collaborate. The project, while targeted to academic users, may be useful for any organization where team members need to collaborate. Webfoot intends to integrate existing software tools, such as Eclipse, SourceForge, and others that are commonly used by software development teams into a unified environment that can be easily customized, extended, and adapted for the specific team or organization's use. Webfoot is an open source project hosted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). You can find out more about the project, obtain the current release, and other information at the Webfoot home page.

Abstract

The Webfoot development environment is an umbrella project with the goal to provide collaborative tools for distributed software development teams specifically in the academic setting. Through the use of the Eclipse IDE, Webfoot is able to integrate Eclipse with different collaborative tools. The Webfoot VNC Collaboration tool is one such example, it enables users to interact with each others Eclipse sessions, desktops, and other applications. Users can share their own environment or connect to another environment on the fly.
