Although I cannot answer the first question, I can say that I know some
people (including myself) who feel not comfortable by using Skype
(closed source, closed communication protocol, somehow bypasses most
firewalls...), although it works nearly everywhere (in terms of network
infrastructure).

Enough ranting ... you may remember that I talked about an open platform
that provides text, voice, video, whiteboard capabilities in different
virtual meeting rooms, and that (when the call has been finished) also
provides a downloadable video. It also provides (limited) managing of
people's schedules, so maybe we can give it a try - a test installation?
What do you think?

If this really would work, it would be a great resource for the whole
community, I think.

Cheers,
Christoph
