John,
The name comes from the community. There is another D-Bus service called
org.ekiga.Helper.service, which I forgot to add it to the original
one-pager. The attached one-pager corrects this mistake, and the iLBC
audio plugin is removed from the exported interfaces as it is a non-free
codec.
Thank you,
BR,
Elaine

>> 2.1. Project Description:
>>
>> The current version of Ekiga shipped in SNV is 2.0.12.
>>
>> This project upgrades Ekiga 2.0.12 to the latest major release 3.0.
>> Ekiga 3.0 provides several major enhancements. Refer to section 4.1
>> for details on the new features.
>>
>> 2.2. Risks and Assumptions:
>>
>> Ekiga 3.0 depends on OPAL VoIP libraries that implement the main VOIP
>> protocols. The libraries includes PTLib and Opal that might be changed
>> in the future. PTLib is the new name of PWLib that Ekiga 2.x depends
>> on. The name change reflects the removal of the GUI code from PWLib,
>> which part of code Ekiga never uses.
>>
>> Ekiga 3.0 depends on OpenLDAP that hasn't been integrated into SNV
>> yet. SunLDAP and OpenLDAP APIs diverge in a great many ways thereby
>> patches are needed to make Ekiga 3.0 work with SunLDAP for the time
>> being. The patches will be removed once OpenLDAP integration is done.
>>
>> 4. Technical Description:
>> 4.1. Details:
>>
>> Ekiga is a VoIP, IP Telephony, and Video Conferencing application
>> that allows users to make audio and video calls to remote users with

>> and video codecs and all modern VoIP features for both SIP and H.323.
>>
>> All user configuration for Ekiga 3.0 is backwards compatible with
>> Ekiga 2.x so that users can switch between the two versions without
>> any effect on their configuration choices.
