[Wikimedia-l] How lovely live communication works worldwide

[Lodewijk]

We also tried to use mumble at WLM-international, but it seems that it uses
a different port, whcih cannot be used by everyone. Especially if working
from multiple timezones, some people might call in from a company or
university network, which might have restrictions. Otherwise, I liked the
tool very much.
