[GSoC] Whiteboarding Pidgin

[Edwin Abraham]

So shall I pursue the details how the yahoo doodle gui would work for XMPP.
And start figuring out how to implement the same. I would prefer to give
the GUI few subtle changes to incorporate User Object tracking/notifying
and integrated chat to whiteboard.

What about adding the GUI changes I mentioned to the Yahoo Doodle and then
migrate to the XMPP implementation as the SoC progress. If it doesn't fit
within the time period of the SoC I can still pursue it afterwards.
