Hmm, if the whiteboard nature is not required then perhaps one could 
consider mail or news.

I think itimers+whatever kind of notification mechanism (beep?) you
want could do this.  But you'll still need to work out the details of
who owns what and who can edit what etc.  These problems don't exist
in either mail or news.
