Hey, don't leave us guys out! We're the Linux people who happen to use Apple PowerPC computers! We want Skype too!!!!

There's lots of us around here. We all want software, just like the x86 folks!

Who's with me?

I work on embedded linux as my primary occupation, including cross compiles for ARM and MIPS processors. I would be happy to work with the Skype Team to work on a PPC version, I use Debian on a G3 iBook and would love to have Skype for it.

I don't think they care that you are forcing all your friends to use Wengo, they have one developer :!: to write about skype's progress for linux in his blog and nothing more.

Yes please!

I'm starting to use Linux myslf, and this would be very welcome!

Yes. I need it too.

I'm a switcher from Mac to Linux for free.

I think Skype team have enough experience for Linux and PPC programming, I think it's not so hard for them.
