I think this would be a pretty compelling case, as I saw no sign of
instability about the program...

"Saurav from dimdim here.

perhaps these links could help the efforts

This is the original blog in french and here is the google translation link.

also feel free to contact me at saurav AT dimdim DOT com. We at dimdim are always looking for community involvement in increasing the dimdim footprint and also in getting feedback to make a better web meeting product and an ubuntu package is something we have significant interest in as a community project."

Especially the last part is interesting. I'm sure if a .deb was made, they could put it up on their website so Ubuntu users can install it easily.

They do appear to require 'registration' of some sort for access to the source.
