Never tried G+ hangouts. However, I feel the best experience could be reached with video+text conference: video for desktop sharing and process live view and text for backlog. Skype allows to share desktop and continue with chat. > - any recent windows box that has SDK 7.1 installed (no XP please) [+] Win2k3 and Win7 boxes are ready with required tool chain. > - you don't mind installing cygwin *and* mingw and some other stuff added to > it > - follow this http://s.apache.org/couchdb-glazier-docs > - please report any embarassing fails to this thread [+] Done, Done, nothing seriously wrong was there. I'd also signed up for MSDN license, but don't know when it will arrive.
