It has already been announced here and there, but here is a summary for
the desktop-devel-list :
GnomeMeeting "opal" should be ready before the end of the year.

It will feature :
- a redesigned GUI
- support for the H.323 protocol
- support for the SIP protocol (ie compatibility with many windows
softphones including Windows Messenger), with video
- a Voice over IP platform for GNOME users sponsored by OVH :
   * all users will be world reachable using a SIP address
   * virtual conference rooms support
   * voicemail support
   * talking clock support
A bit like what FreeWorldDialup is offering.
