As a KMess developer, I say that I'd *love* being able to switch to an 
integrated component! I - and I'm sure also the other KMess devs - would also 
help developing it, if possible - I don't have a kde svn account yet though.

Visualization of a chat is tricky as it needs many components to work 
together. For example, it'd need something to allow changing parts of the 
shown document easily (ie changing a link like "Do you want to accept 
downloading file x?" to a "You accepted the file transfer" ). In simpler words 
it would be necessary for the new component to allow very easy interaction 
with the contents!

Let us know if you plan on creating a techbase page about the project, I'd 
gladly help you define it! You can also find me on irc: nick vpilo :)

Cheers,
Valerio Pilo
