Personally I find jabber (and similar technologies) much more convenient than voice. I've used that a few times with a small group of people to discuss and solve technical problems. I feel it allows more interactive discussions and is also easier non-native English speakers, I think using the wg jabber rooms we got for regular discussions of specific issues is a great idea.
