Sorry no, this is not the right place to ask but I'll try to help anyway.
(and you need to be subscribed to the list to post to it in future*)
The gnome usability list is about discussing ways to improve usability in
Gnome and other ways to make it user friendly.  Rather than answering
specific user questions we are trying to fix things to be more obvious and
easier to use so that less questions need to be asked by beginners.

I did a quick search on Google for Voodo Chat and I came up with this
project http://voc.sourceforge.net/ which works on Windows/Linux/Unix and
appears to be the same kind of thing.

On the internet many people do not speak English as their first langauge,
and even for those of us that do it is much harder to read if you use lots
of slang and abbreviations.  Also the more clearly you ask your question
the better the answer you are likely to get (and it makes people think
I'm older an more mature than I actually am ;)

There are many Linux User Groups (LUGs) which often have helpful lists,
and there are lists out there specifically for SuSE users too which would
probably be much better places to ask this kind of question.

I hope you will continue to enjoy using Gnome.  Good luck.
