Regarding projects, I would like to propose the two at
http://blogs.gnome.org/simos/2008/08/10/features-for-the-killer-voip-app/

1. Add a general wizard for users that want to configure their own SIP provider.
2. Add UPNP support.

I think the main aim for additional project ideas would be to make
Ekiga even more usable
to Linux users (using Ubuntu, Fedora, etc).

In addition, Linux netbooks tend to have Skype shipped as default. It
would be beneficial to
have the option to use Ekiga instead, and have users ask for Ekiga.

I do not know of other UI and usability improvements that can be done.
Are there any other suggestions?
