Adium, gaim and Kopete are all moving toward the Universal Log Format 
[1] I helped design. I would be happy to lend a hand getting Telepathy  
implementing ULF, and helping implement a logging API. Should we start  
a new thread on this, or is IRC a better place to hash this out?

There is some interest in this on the joscar lists. Alan Humpherys has  
begun work on getting AIM Video conversations. As far as some of the  
other things they've demoed for the next OS -- screensharing and  
"appcasting" -- the former is almost identical to your VNC proposal  
mentioned earlier, and the latter is just a hook client-side to change  
the video-in source.

Any other questions about iChat? I'd be happy to answer them as best I  
can.
