[BadVista Advocate] Help "Hotline"

[Yasith Lahiru Vidanaarachchi]

I thought IRC is better because we'll need lot of resources if we are to
seet up a phone service :) maybe we can create a step-by-step guide on how
to use IRC with the users chat client, and then they'll have no problems
with it.

Or have you seen QUNU (http://qunu.com/) if we can set up something like
that it'll be great. then there won't be any costs and usually we are logged
into our chat clients, so there won't be any problems :D

qunu just needs a jabber based account (google chat or something like that)
so we can help the users while we are using our computers

cheers
