I asked river first, they said to post here. Regarding the version with linux support - if anyone can recommend one that has as many features as ventrilo, i'd be happy to switch to that. I'd like this exemption to be for "general voice chat server" rather than "ventrilo voice chat server", incase we do switch in future. Ventrilo's popularity and great channel support are the main reasons I want it.

I'd like to run a test to see memory consumption etc as well as processor usage and speed. Any major objections to that, or can I run it for a day or so? (i'll do so if no objections in a few days).

Something slightly similar that Sean Whitton wanted to do got denied a bit ago by River: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2007-May/000765.html

Hey,
I'd like to get an exemption to run a copy of Ventrilo (http://www.ventrilo.com/index.php ) for use as an alternative to IRC. For a start it will be for Wikinews, although I intend to make it into a general Wikimedia server. I'll make channels available that pretty much align with the IRC ones.

I can answer any questions if necessary.

Thanks,
-Matt
