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.<br>
<br>
I'm more of a re-user.<br>
<br>
I always thought XMPP was a good idea. Have you tried <i>gajim</i>?<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gajim.org/">https://gajim.org/</a><br>
<br>
It is an XMPP client that is allso P2P and fully written in
Python/GTK.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
I'm all for a custom server component, perhaps it could be built on
top of this.<br>
