You guys might want to check out the WebRTC specification that enables you to
do peer-to-peer connections from inside the browser.  There was much talk about
this on HN the other day.

Of course it still needs an implementation to be useful in any way.  If someone
feels called to work on a free software web-based communication solution, I
think that would be a very good starting point.
