Re: [PyMOL] Video iChat / PyMOL Discussion

[Dan K. <dw...@bi...>]

Warren + Community,
   What about non-Mac users ?   Also there is a great solution for 
interactive conferences called www.gotomeeting.com.  I'm not sure if 
there is video conferencing or not.  However, the conference call 
(without a conference call phone) and the desktop sharing was superb for 
loading and showing molecules or functionalities in pymol. Anyone in the 
meeting can take control of the presenting computer and twirl the 
molecule around as well.  I believe it supports many different browers. 
And meetings can be held by simply sending an email. 

The only downfall is that it isn't free, but only one person needs to 
pay for an account. (~ $50 a month/ $450 a year). There is a free 15 day 
trial.

What other multi-platform options are there for video conferencing + 
desktop sharing(open source, freeware)?
