I am creating a chat application which supports chat, group chat, file sharing, whiteboard(not mandatory). I make it own to contribute fedora. if anyone wants to join to grow it welcome(shantanubanerjee75@gmail.com). Netmeeting works on T.120 protocol but didn’t find any way to use it. Is there any protocol in linux which support my requirements? is there any way to write a own application protocol in python with few headers? I need it very much..
thanks

The Jabber protocol may suit your needs (not sure about the whiteboard part). There are many implementations of client and servers in many languages including python.
If you want a more generic aproach you may try with telepathy
There is also a more low level aproach libpurple. I did not found any recent libpurple binding for python but you may try to build your own with ctypes.
Also take a look at this question in launchpad for some other alternatives.
If you really want to develop a new protocol from scratch my take will be to add it to telepathy and use it through Empathy.
