RemoteControlMesh
RCM (RemoteControlMesh) is a project I'm working on in Panther. It basically allows me to do small tasks from my laptop, on my pc!
I know about logmein, join.me and all the other stuff, but this is more about tasking than screen sharing.
If it works, it will run on...
# PANTHER
# BATCH
# (PHP MAYBE)
Batch is essential to carry out more specific things, while Panther is more of a GUI.
I'll release it soon!

Re: RemoteControlMesh
Sounds cool! Projects made in Scratch mods go in AT, so i moved it there for you.

Pretty cool!
I was working on something similar. As you know, the raspberry pi will be small, cheap and very portable. The thing that will lose most of its portability is a large screen. Since tiny HDMI-accepting monitors cost a few hundred pounds, I set up an AJAX script. Panther uses a webcam connected to the raspberry pi to find out some information about an image (In this case it was the number of stamps on a loyalty card) the uses GET protocol to send the info to a PHP page that updates a database. Any computer viewing my special AJAX enabled page will get a live info stream from the raspberry pi! (I don't have the pi yet, sadly 
)
Good luck with your project

Re: RemoteControlMesh
So is this like a program to access Command Prompt from another computer or something?

I did something like that once. Only i didn't have to use mesh because the computers in my house are linked somehow. Basically I can go under network then get files from any of our pcs. So i made a panther project which used files to transfer information such as mesh would do, from there i could tell it to read me files (show them in a list), write documents, even open a program, but however I couldn't have it do anything on the program because it cannot work outside of Scratch. Wait... what if you made an import project block, then you could have it import a project. But I'm thinking, anyone remember how you can use broadcasts to make scratch think a sprite was clicked, or the flag was clicked, what if you could figure out how to make it think a key was pressed, then you could make it so you could import any project and basically play it from your laptop! 
Though we are humans and we might as well walk 5 feet to play the game on the actual comp right? 
You should use that internet variable thing so you could edit files and such from school or something.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time
