   I have been organizing some materials about
   a "Collaboration WebOS" project: a project to
   help many free software projects - like Emacs -
   build in collaboration features in coordinated
   ways.   See http://basiscraft.com

Thanks for the pointer.

   1. Do not write a custom server.
   2. Use a chat server (such as a Jabber implementation).
   3. If some server-side computation is needed other
      than just forwarding messages in the manner of a chat
      session, write that new server-side code as a
      chat client.

I would agree if given s/server/protocol/g.  A p2p-oriented
XMPP-speaking Emacs-Lisp-implemented server would be a fine
summer hack (depending on one's tolerance for XML...)
