We have Muji [1], but it sucks because it sends the video/audio to each of the parties separately, which is why it does not scale and runs into bandwidth issues. People from Google had earlier said that they want to release the specifications for Hangouts [2], but that hasn't happened and we have not been able to find a contact inside Google to help out with that. Happy hacking, Debarshi [1] http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Muji [2] http://juberti.blogspot.cz/2011/07/hangouts-mailbag.html -- If computers are going to revolutionize education, then steam engines and cars and electricity would have done it too. -- Arjun Shankar
