Things you may want to know

• Whiteboards are gone if you restart the Server, so keep that in mind (or save your whiteboard)
• This is just a sample layout to show the functions available
• You shoud be able to customize without ever toutching the whiteboard.js (take a look at index.html & main.js)
• I'm planning to add realtime audio broadcasting feature in this app
