[liberationtech] Group needs a 'secure' and 'anonymous' means to communicate

[Frank Corrigan]

Hi Folks,

I am working with a UK based group and they want to enable better remote
over the web participation in meetings for those who cannot attend in
person. One possible application identified is Pidgin with OTR (Secure
Instant Messaging), can anyone suggest any other ways to communicate
that offer similar 'secure' and 'anonymous' means to communicate, but
crucially easy to use for the not so tech minded? 

Does anyone know of any useful services/methods to set up
temporary/disposable 'secure' and 'anonymous' online chat rooms?

Apologies if this request for help comes across as naive, I am familiar
with 'secure' and 'anonymous' tech, but not sure what approach to take
with people spread across the UK, often with little or no engagement
with Liberation tech issues. So often a trade off between security,
anonymity and ease of use ends up with a default reliance upon insure
means of communication. (email/im/sms etc)
