Desktop/research decisions:
Is IM something separate from Loop or part of the Loop client?
Identity:  are we using the FxA identity or do we want to federate with existing IM providers?
Can we start IM conversations separately and escalate to Loop or only do IM direct in exisitng Loop conversation
This impacts services as well - as they had Nick Chapman join them who worked on "Simple Chat" - and they'd likely be hosting on a server.  

So what is the vision for IM in Firefox?  and can we implement that so we can use in Loop as well :)
