We would in theory use any/all features telepathy exports. One of the reasons to consider it is that its a high-level framework that gives us lots of features for just a little code. Part of the plan is to prototype the IM/voice work using a stripped down 2D application that would look something like skype, but also offer reX integration like server administration plugins. >From there we would integrate the same code into the reX-NG viewer relatively easily. I do not imagine that we will follow Linden's IM standard at first. Perhaps that's a module a more interested party could implement. Haven't had a closer look at server infrastructure to support scalable voice, etc., because we are not really in the hosting game, and the point of choosing an existing protocol is so that we don't have to dictate what is used to back the system on the server side. That said, we'd be better off providing a sample architecture so that people using reX don't have to hire/become telecom experts to get their systems up. > What I can offer: > - knowledge about implementing network based services in a enterprise > environment, incl.

Its hard for me to put you to some task. It'd be better for me to be transparent about what we are doing, and you can choose how you want to contribute with your own unique ideas.
