Sending this out to the list to garner some mindmash. Currently libinfinity
(and hence libqinfinity) supports communication by Jabber on a server level.
For quite a few reasons I think that having an option to have it on a
document level is a good idea. If you think of a large assembly such as
Akademy or GCDS (Side Thought: How do you abstract that? *DS?)  where you
would like an easy one connect server for remote collaborators but then
having all the chatter for the various projects and problems being discussed
broadcast to everyone is unbearably confusing. Or further down the line when
this is KDE wide and many types of clients can connect to it (also FOSS now
rules the world cause the others ignored then laughed then fought ) A fairly
large business would want to use something like this internally to tie
together teams. Even if there is one server per department you would want
discussions to be more localized to say a group or a document.

So having said that I think that a proposal currently to implemt proper
channels and identifucation would be thrown out right away as something too
disruptive to do now. My proposal is to allow messages which are sent to be
optionally tagged then clients can read the tags on the messages and react
as they see fit. Clients who have no idea about the tags will just drop them
Clients who know but don't really care can possibly simply display the tags
Clients that know and care can create channels or drop entire messages of
the user doesn't care about them etc.

If anyone has another solution to the issue or sees the issue in a different
light please reply and lets have a discussion :)
