In the current IM flux with whatsapp and stuff, Jolla could make a loud snatch by having their own XMPP server with the latest state-of-the-art XEP/standards implemented and user prefixes from normal user accounts (eg chemist@jolla.com). Jabber and jingle server primarily for their customers but open to all.

Sure this would only make sense when the unified client eg telepathy-gabble would support all of it.

On a sidenote, all major players have their own email/messaging/cloud and so on, I know Jolla is yet to become a major player but starting it with doing things different could turn out to be the selling point. Supporting open solutions first and maybe later start up services for customers not so tech-savvy to host their own servers. Also integration of security services may come easy if you go down that road with XMPP+GPG/OTR. As long as you do not start negotiating with better solutions for you (reads outsourcing) like maybe Open Whispersystems I'd prefer going down the vanilla XMPP road and maybe contribute to issues like "push-messages".

As facebook chat integration will be gone with facebooks recent strategic decisions, i am suggesting to set up a "Jolla XMPP Server" to close the gap a little.

To make it as convenient as possible to the casual user it would be nice if an account to that server would be automatically created and set up on the phone corresponding to the "Jollastore Username".

This clearly would be no substitute to easily message with "non-jolla" users but maybe a cool incentive to help swapping some of our contacts to inform themselfes about xmpp or even sail with us?
