I've subscribed to the dev list we'll see where it leads, but one
problem I can see already is that it bundles ffmpeg, so the package
would have to be hosted on a 3rd party repo (RPMFusion or atrpms).
Even then, bundled libraries are still discouraged. Hopefully they
don't customize it and can use the system installed ffmpeg...

Yes, it should be available in Fedora.

I've not set it up here, but it looks promising at least.

No idea there. There are SIP clients on various phones. You may be able
to connect that to your home sipwhich install. Not sure.

No, it's different.

What Skype has is technology that MSFT can use for its Lync products as
well as the subscriber lists.

Well, reviving this old thread since I actually got a build of JItsi
that appears to work just in case anyone's interested. It still needs
a lot of work to remove some 3rd party files before it could possible
be included in Fedora though.

Let it be the default added software. Also I suggest to check out
Chandler (www.chandlerproject.org) - maybe it improves our
communication through this. Chandler is barely written in python, so
please check it out.

Thx,

Zoltan

The Chandler project appears comatose and no longer developed.
