The problem with that name is that it leads to think that Conversa is a software to chat, and people could also think it is not a VoIP software. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's what happens with GnomeMeeting currently. I read yesterday in an IRC channel that conversation : A: "I read they will do Skype for Linux" B: "Bah, it is proprietary, we don't need Skype, we have GnomeMeeting" A: "Wrong, GnomeMeeting is a Netmeeting alike. Netmeeting is dead. And Skype is a VoIP application, not GnomeMeeting."
