At Dave Winer's meeting about bootstrapping the Rss Cloud someone (I don't remember who, sorry) asked about the possibility of using the cloud as an opensource peer to peer IM network to replace Jabber/XMPP (there was a little discussion around how difficult it is to implement XMPP securely and correctly). As I'm working on my cloud I've gotten to thinking about how to implement IM. I have no time to lead this for real, so this may be just a mental exercise.
