VOIP: ekiga, wengophone, twinkle (was What is 'administrivia')

[Bryan Quigley]

Wengophone has a dependency on qt4.   Might be doable with removal of Pidgin
and Ekiga (or Mono).   I can't speak for Ekiga but it really doesn't appear
to be able to stand up to replacing Pidgin.   Pidgin, to me anyway, is one
of the applications that Free Software has delivered the best of breed
package for.
