[ale] skype

[Larry Johnson]

I've gotten chided a couple of times for admitting that pragmatism must
sometimes win out over Free Software on a case by case basis, but on this
particular issue I'll have to take the opposite tack, and propose that you
use Ekiga, file bug reports as necessary, and help make it work.  Skype is
the  Facebook of VOIP.

help you build meaningful long-term relationships with staff, testing
standards that don't tell you how to invent a test that is worth running."
