Let's get started

Me too.. so if the master isn't in, why not get started?

Just recently I saw something about commercial instant messaging
systems going for server-based email..  Here is the article:

http://news.com.com/Was+that+IM+or+e-mail%3F/2100-1032_3-5238364.html?part=rss&tag=5238364&subj=news.1032.5

Let's discuss what we can do to have our IM2000 before other people
establish technically inferior solutions. Marketing is making this
happen far too often lately, the internet has become so non-idealistic.  :(

What are the requirements we would expect from IM2K? I for one
wouldn't want to send out my newsletters by round robin anymore -
One copy to each recipient - I want multicast in there. I don't
mean IP Multicast, not limited to that, but generally the protocol
notion of distributing information to multiple recipients efficiently.

I send one notification to Brazil and my friend's server there
redistributes it to all other brazilian recipients. Or better.

Whereas when it comes to resending the notifications, -yes- as a fallback,
but I would primarily work with receiver-side storage of such notifications.
What would you add to the im2000 thoughts?
