I will work on that as soon as possible. Craig still has some issues to
fix before.

That would be great !

I think that the most difficult part is to integrate it into the SERWEB
interface we are using on ekiga.net.

I have always wondered :
- should we keep using SERWEB ?
- should we rewrite it?

We only use minor features :
- subscribing
- modifying account details

So perhaps modifying it would be the best.

Perhaps also we could simply write some PHP script for the Call Me
function, and in Ekiga, we would put a "Call Me" button that triggers it
and thus triggers a call.

Julien, Jan, Yannick, what do you think ?
