Good afternoon.
What is the actual problem:
I work for a small online newspaper. We have employees not only in Moscow, but also in many parts of Russia. Until recently, for coordination of actions and intra-editorial communication, we used (and still use) a chat that can be organized on Vkontakte. Everything triples, except for one - the limit of 15 chat participants.
Actually the question itself:
Please advise a program for organizing such a multi-user chat, without limiting participants. Those. installed, configured - and communicate. Not everyone has a good Internet connection, so it is critical to have a text chat (Skype is not suitable). It is desirable that this be done as simply as possible - we have people who are with a computer on you.
Thanks in advance to the Habrasoobshchestvo.

You can consider it as an advertisement, but I think that this is what you are looking for.
There are conferences (multi-user text chat) and all the other "charms"

Install jabber client. For example pidgin. There you can organize a general chat

The editorial board and the flyer with more than 10 participants is a horror. So maybe it's good that there is a limit? Make meetings only with tops, and then in groups you + Direction_Editor + Performers.
In general, they rule Google Groups. What is written is much more powerful than what is said.

GTalk and closed googlegroups are quite suitable for your conditions. With GTalk, you can even chat with voice and video... Moreover. There are good clients on smartphones based on Android. You can participate in meetings on the go... Sometimes, in a distributed team, a very useful thing...
But there is one problem with Google: I wouldn't count on privacy there. In skype, too, by the way ... mail.ru as a Russian service is especially doubtful in this regard ...

And I'm just wondering: why Skype is not suitable?

Google Talk seems like a good solution to your question to me.
