While not my money, and not osmething I consider important enough to put
my money or time on,

This requires quite a few things. For starters, it requires that you
know the address of a participant in a conference. There are many useful
applications of such a protocol even before that.

Asterisk has currently very poor support of text messages. Asterisk
cannot route text messages. Asterisk can send Jabber messages,
SIP/SIMPLE messages, chan_mobile SMS messages, PSTN SMS messages and
probably some other channel-specific SMS messages, but all with
different syntaxes.

So two interesting subgoals (with no specific order) would be:

1. A similar integration to that of res_jabber of today - the ability to
send messages and handle them. I have no idea how that Wave of the
Future handles authentication and authorization (authorizaiton: think
spam).

2. A more common way to handle text messages. Would it be nice to be
able to route text messages in the dialplan or is it outside the scope
of Asterisk?
