Thanks a lot for all the comments and links you provided (that I snipped).
Actually my decision boils down to the single line I quoted from your mail.
Either I endorse the suggestion of my group and go SKYPE or I try to convince 
them to use a FOSS program (be it Ekiga or something else).

This group is doing free translations for a cause, I belive they are open 
minded but I'm not sure I have a right to delay the implementation of a 
communication tool we whished for by asking them to ponder first on the 
reasons for the choice of the tool.

It is also going way too fast, first mention of SKYPE was on wednesday this 
week and one guy organised a conference on thursday, which nobody was able to 
to attend, next is scheduled for monday.

At the the beginning I didn't understand enough about that topic, and wondered 
wether I could do a personal choice, so I posted here.

Eventually when I know those people better I will have opportunities do 
discuss about FOSS and why they should replace SKYPE, but I would have to 
really study that matter.

I keep this mail for further possible use.

Perry
