I heard about FSF Europe running a Skype Replacement event on the
weekend, testing the different clients against each other.  Their goal
is very general, moving people from closed source to Free software

FreedomBox has an additional goal: privacy.  This limits some of the
options (or requires each option to be scrutinised more carefully).

Nonetheless, FreedomBox should work with some of the other solutions.
 It may be very generous and accept any TLS connection, or it may be
more severe and require all signaling to go over TOR, for example.  I
plan to document the privacy issues more thoroughly to help decide on
these strategies.

WebRTC is for browser-based audio/video.  FreedomBox could potentially
provide a web server with such a page for users on the local LAN to
use.  The browser would then be just another type of client.


Do you want to add these links into the wiki page?
