It's a webconference dumdum errr uhh dimdim maybe
So I found myself wandering why good webconference programs aren't more plentiful on the Open Source side of the ballgame. I then decided to see what I could find and was promptly impressed by a simple server solution, dimdim. DimDim provides for webconferencing in a single host with multiple listeners scenario. Very good for educational uses where a professor could have a class completely online, but still lecture. With a white board and power-point built in, it's a hands down easy solution for this area. However, for the web conference with multiple speakers and group audio needs, it soon falls short. Only a max of three speakers (six if you setup your own server) at a time. They claim it's bandwidth issues, but I think more could be done to rectify that. We'll just have to see. I may delve into this project and get my own hands dirty, if only for the added audio users.
