I have no intention of refueling this debate but I found this an
interesting read some time ago:
paper by Garfinkel
http://skypetips.internetvisitation.org/files/VoIP%20and%20Skype.pdf
your link is mostly about Ubuntu users concerned that skype reads
/etc/password and greps their .mozilla profiles for proxy settings,
which when all is said and done is probably the least of their
worries.
as for other posts, openwengo does not currently support encryption,
and is developed partly by a French company, last I heard French
governments were not exactly friendly towards strong crypto. also,
wengo do have a vested interest in bashing skype.
cheers,
