What is the difference between "chat" and "instant messaging"?

If first one is realtime voice chat, I suggest calling it telephony to 
avoid misunderstanding.

And I suggest to aim even lower that for first iterations.  Not because 
any of them are weak as selling points, but because not all of them 
really exist yet (or are prepackaged in Debian, if that matters yo you).


Other than that, I like your plan.  Heck, I hope all of us here do: 
Seems to me that you avoid the tricky part of actually making any 
decisions yet (but that off course might be deliberate - you may want a 
democratic decision process).

I'll cross my fingers that your approach win lots of followers!
