Guillaume, Alban, The telepathy solution seems quite fine, at least with an "invitation use case". But for KsirK I think more to a solution where games (wanting to run the game or connect to a waiting one) connect to a room (viewed as a whiteboard) and discuss there to find their peers.
Do you think that telepathy can be used in such a way ? In fact, I have finished implementing a first Jabber only version doing the first step as described in my initial mail. I will now start to work on the second step and if telepathy is really a possibility I'll look to it in more details.
