Yes, that seems like fun!

I haven't had time to look at it that much, but I think it might work...

But JXTA is just a protocol - it shouldn't matter if it's a small or large 
group, does it? It just defines how the communication takes place.

If ICQ was open-sourced, you could set up a private central server and let 
only your friends connect to it. Then you'd have your small group, but also 
the option to communicate with the rest of the world too.

The protocol is orthogonal to the implementation (in theory), so any fixed 
point (yaws or wikie or a cgi/php/asp script) can be used to put the peers 
in contact with each other.

Am I wrong?

Vlad
