I remember that over the summer there was a topic about the CPX(Calculator Programming Expo), that was to be held online. One road block that was run into was communication. Well after doing some research for something not related to this at all, i think i might have found the solution to it. That solution is a MUSH. A MUSH is a role playing type thing where you just talk. In it rooms are built, in little to no time. I have currently found one such mush that we could use to start from scratch. It is called PennMUSH. It would provide everything and more. What do you guys think of this idea?

Give more detail

Why bother when TeamSpeak or Ventrilo would work equally as well without any of the overhead or extra crap to install?

Seconded. I think either of those options are valid solutions to this problem.
