doing stuff over Google hangouts these days. It would be nice if we could make something like that work with open standards and free software. I don't think IRC is the right starting point.Sure.. it's not a good fit for a free software project though since it isn't free software. In fact, I would say it clearly indicates a gap in our platform that we don't have something similar.
We have Muji [1], but it sucks because it sends the video/audio to each of the parties separately, which is why it does not scale and runs into bandwidth issues. People from Google had earlier said that they want to release the specifications for Hangouts [2], but that hasn't happened and we have not been able to find a contact inside Google to help out with that.
