actually we're planning a WebCommunity system that will use Jabber to
combine IM-Presence with WebPresence e.g. when a user logged in,
he is "online" and get some info in the site's header who's online
as well .. he can then send/receive messages through the jabber protocol
to/from other users that are online.

this does not need to be in the core but there should be hooks, that
things like this could be implemented easily (without hacking Zope
like it is necessary yet.)
