To throw in another voice here, Karen asked two different questions.
The one about the text chat with Airmedia might be more easily
addressable with IRC clients and such.  Have to find out what protocols
are supported over there.  The "Our place" project at ACB Radio uses
Ivocalize which is a proprietary technology for which no linux
implementation was done.  This is where Greg's comments come to light.
If the formats and protocols are kept secret and proprietary, then the
only way one could use it in linux is if the developers develop a Linux
version or share the specs so such a product could be built.  Janina and
Greg's comments don't really conflict each other but see different
prospectives.  One is the current reality that if a proprietary
technology is developed for windows only, then linux users can't use it.
If it were open and published, then Janina's remarks would apply in that
a compatible client could be developed for Linux.  Of course, you
mentioned Skype; well, they were open minded enough to develop for all
major platforms - Linux, windows, and Mac.  I wonder how accessible
Skype would be under Linux using Gnome accessibility with Gnopernicus.
