The ultimate purpose is to :
- Keep specializing gnomemeeting in videoconferencing and Voice Over IP
- Have a Bonobo component (or whatever equivalent) reusable in
applications like Gaim but also like Evolution (appointments)
transparently

What we can currently offer with the current code is calling
GnomeMeeting in the background from Gaim. Notice applications like KMess
already support MSN Invitations, ie your Win98 correspondant right-click
to open a video session, it launches Netmeeting on Win98 and
GnomeMeeting on Linux, everything is transparent for the user.

However, I repeat it, supporting proprietary protocols are not an
objective for us.
