Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] [FWD] Bug#129052: gnomemeeting: FAQ is misleading w.r.t. NAT

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

I sent a copy of the mail to Raph. He is the FAQ maintainer.
However the URL that he gave is wrong, ask him for the right one.

However, question 8 should also see the modules URL for 2.4 be added.
