Dear Frank,

it is an interesting idea. However maybe a easier approach would be to have
a plugin for the standard IRC protocol (or other instant messaging protocols)
so that we can interact with other chatrooms which are not located in the
server and which possibly can show math via some MathJax/LaTeX kind of
support. The advantage to use TeXmacs would be that math input is more
natural, while we keep the possibility to interact with external world. If
the server do not support LaTeX input we can always send small images for the
math content. But I see this as a possibility which is quite distinct from
our own chatrooms (where we can directly use the TeXmacs format to share
content which remains fully editable/copiable/etc...).
