+Ardesia turns your screen into a digital sketchpad to annotate or draw
+on the entire screen.  It also lets you record and stream it on the
+network with vlc.  You can draw upon the desktop or import an image
+as well as annotate and redistribute it.  Ardesia is also pressure
+sensitive assuming your device is properly configured.
+
+USER TIPS:
+Ardesia is set to be 'always on top' and will be on top of even desktop
+panels.  However, if you have shortcuts too or launch the program with
+'-d' you can toggle the 'always on top' option and the panel should
+be back on top.  This will allow you to opperate at least operate the
+panel as well as minimize ardesia to regain full control over the
+desktop.  Personally, they should of had a 'pass through' mode so that
+you would not have to hide the panel or the drawings to do things on
+the desktop.
+
+The PDF export will allow you to add new pages to a pdf that are screen
+captures of when the button is pressed. It does not save vector shapes.
+
+Fluxbox and Blackbox are not compatible! The program will draw
+black over everything and not allow you to access the tools the same
+goes for curtain and spotlighter (maintained by ardesia).  Openbox 
+works without issues.  You are on your own testing other minimalist
+window managers.
+
+This requires gsl.
