POLL: Potential Skype-Like Java Project: Want your opinion

[Keiran230]

Regardless, I think I'll be snooping around Jitsi's source code, since I found this on Wikipedia:
"...if both sides are 'trapped' behind NAT routers, [Jitsi will] obtain a reachable IPv6 address via a tunnel-broker."
As a networking student, that interests me.

Jitsi's website's FAQ mentioned development of an Android app, which I would find pretty awesome if they do make it, since the Android Skype is a nightmare. For example, it keeps auto-launching without my permission and then crashing itself in an endless cycle...

TL;DR version: Free, cross-platform, and open source Skype-like program: would you use it?

, how is your interest in such a program?

Intense..Over at linuxinternationals.org we have been beating this subject like a dead horse.
We have tried several alternatives to Skype and despite it's flaws,none live up to Skype.No matter what we tried,one of us,sometimes more would hit a snag and there was no work-around.
What we need:

*VOP for multiple users.

* Easy,intuitive screen sharing.

* Chat

* World wide,not just USA.

* No complicated,convoluted sign ins with multiple hoops to jump through.

Do this and we will be falling all over ourselves to use it.
