"The Coccinella" is one of the very, very few Jabber protocol based programs that allow encrypted internet telephony, which IMHO might make Ubuntu a factor for use in professional industry surroundings. The newest version is 0.96.8 and it is pretty new (see http:// thecoccinella. org/download). Would it be legal and possible for you to package it for ubuntu 8.10?
