I too would be delighted to assist. However, being a non-programmer and newbie to Linux I still use Windows a lot. I can't get the 3.0 version working on either my Kubuntu or Windows, so not sure how I can help. Unfortunately, when the 3.0 version for windows came out, I uninstalled the 2.0 versions, so I'm currently not able to use ekiga except to land-lines, funnily enough!
