That is a very good question. If we need video that might be a reason
why. I am not sure that we need video -- myself I don't even have a
camera on my computer.

There are some technical details to be worked out (mostly around NAT
traversal) but it wouldn't be difficult at all to put together a
decent VoIP PBX/conferencing system. This is something I have done
before and would be happy to look at.

We also need a way to do text chat at the same time as speaking on the
phone, but the easy solution to that is just to use IRC which we
already do.
