Now that there is serious interest in contributing to this effort, it’s time to produce a unified road map for all chat projects. To make it easier to track updates to the road map, please post a comment here to announce any significant change. This is the only way others can be notified (there is no notification when a Wiki page is updated).

Multi-site chat
I have modified the road map to include the ability for the user interface to request configuration through a URL. Providing interface configuration through a URL would allow other sites, applications, and devices to use a site's chat features.
Peer-to-peer chat
I just added a section on what would be required to enable chat service to be distributed among multiple peers.
messages
I believe messages should go through a hook_chatroom_alter (or hook_chatroom_message_alter or whatever). That would be the place to add smilies, filtering, and the like.
I just added that to the wiki roadmap.

I have outlined the design
I have outlined the design for a simple Drupal-hosted chat service. I have committed my Drupal 7 chat code to the Chat project.
