See http://basiscraft.com Thanks for the pointer. 1. Do not write a custom server. 2. Use a chat server (such as a Jabber implementation). 3. If some server-side computation is needed other than just forwarding messages in the manner of a chat session, write that new server-side code as a chat client. I would agree if given s/server/protocol/g. A p2p-oriented XMPP-speaking Emacs-Lisp-implemented server would be a fine summer hack (depending on one's tolerance for XML...) thi
