Personally I _do not_ agree to have an instant messenger integrated with OOo's 
core. And especially a perfect unknown software. And even more if written in 
Python.

As a UNIX guy, I like applications to concentrate on what they do best. Then 
you assemble applications, like a building game. Otherwise you bloat 
applications. OOo is a desktop suite, it should not do email, IM, or video 
editing.

There's a video game in Excel. Does that make sense ? Obviously not.

There are however a few acceptable solutions :

1) If the IM guys want to write it as an add-on to OOo, why not. Their 
problem ;-).

2) Also, distributions are free to bundle OOo with whatever software they 
like, provided they think about license issues

3) If someone can prove there are some parts in writer, calc or impress that 
can benefit of the _integration_ of an IM, then we should be able to call any 
external IM program (the choice of which can be done by the user, with a 
default to the system one). But I would like to see a use case _before_.


Also, I have to say that writing answers and not getting reactions to them is 
particularly unpleasant and gives the impression to speak to deaf people. 
Hence the harsh tone.
