See my other message for clarification. 

I haven't found a good many-to-many + many more + recording solution
for XMPP Jingle / SIP. I looked briefly at Jitsi Videobridge, but it
wasn't trivial to set up (and I'm unclear on recording), and we wanted
to get to actually doing the video status reports — I put out a call
for help on getting something open up and running and got crickets, so
here we are for now.

I also pledged for the talky.io kickstarter at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/talky/talky-the-first-truly-simple-video-chat
but at the current rate I'm not sure they'll reach their goal.

And yeah, let's take further discussion to the council-discuss list.
