FWIW I am all in favour of open-source peer-to-peer communication solutions. The issue is how to convince my relatives and friends with whom I use Skype to switch to something else as they don't care about open-source or being listened to by the government! Also it would be nice not to have to rely on a communications service provider and instead communicate wirelessly with our neighbours forming a mesh. There are some projects working towards that goal. Let's hope they succeed. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
