[p2pu-dev] [Madlug] WebRTC

[Philipp Schmidt]

For P2PU, a browser based conferencing system would be terrific. We've
experimented with a variety of stand-alone or flash based options and there
isn't currently a great product that is open (or even free of charge) and
let's us do all the things we'd like.

BBB is probably closest, and we are hosting an experimental server at
bbb.p2pu.org - but it has some issues and would require serious effort to
integrate more fully into p2pu.org.

Fingers crossed in anticipation for the XMPP hackers out there to come up
with something new and better ... P
