It sounds like you have your mind set on a solution already, from the
ground up. That's fine if you are willing to tackle the task.

I'm more of a re-user.

I always thought XMPP was a good idea. Have you tried /gajim/?

https://gajim.org/

It is an XMPP client that is allso P2P and fully written in Python/GTK.

Perhaps some of its code can be reused, for F1 view and other goals. I
think a solution on top of this could even be made backward compatible
with current Sugar (for the most part).

I'm all for a custom server component, perhaps it could be built on top
of this.

Regards,
Sebastian
