[asterisk-users] Video Conference

[Dovid B]

Dean,
As you know Asterisk is primarily for telephony (yes we have fun with it 
controlling our light's, rebooting servers etc). Video conferencing is a 
completely different game. IMHO it does not make sense to build video 
conferencing for asterisk since lots of people that need video conferencing 
do not need the telephone side of it. It makes more sense to have a video 
solution that plays nice with asterisk.
