[jdev] Organizational IM

[Juan Federico Sequeda Sanclemente]

Hi everybody

I'm in a proyect where we need to develop an IM for a company. The
idea is to have a company based server that can send instant messages
to all the employees that are logged on.  Some may think that email
would be a solution, but sometimes emails are not read immedialty.  We
think IM would be the best solution.

Like other IMs, an employee can have a contact list of other fellow
employees, have one on one chats, group chats.. but there would be
some restrictions (no file transfers)

Do you guys know about any existing program? I have never programmed
an IM, so any help on how to start would be great, and if there is an
open source program available similar to my requeriments, that would
be great!

Thanks for the help!
