Note: put fee based ones off to phase 2, get things working with free services than move on. I would USE Kaltura with it's Joomla plugin. I would set it up using the commercial service, and then as a phase 1.5 setup my own private server using their open source version[and hopefully 1.5 will be stable by then] For chatrooms and web conferencing, I would integrate ARSC: https://sourceforge.net/projects/arsc/ It has hooks in the code for integration already.... does not do web conferencing or such, but you can grab code form some other chat servers[AjaxChat has nice sound/smiley integration, but otherwise has lagged behind]. See http://plan.catskillcrafting.com/projects/mommychats for a list of what I am aiming for to make my wife happy. > 2.How would we deal with the "confidential" ask the specialist? > Sobi, K2, Fabrik, or any other CCK component - most have a submit function that can be restricted to only a few people to view. 3.
