jkersch: I already begin doing it and I have completed the part of main board chatting and private messaging... one new feature that I add is tha every one should register for the chatting system to be able to enter the chat system. and you can send e-mails to any one that is offline. for coloring the text I didn't know how to involve multi-colored texts in a text box field... can I use HTML tags? and How?

do you want it to be client-server style (if yesyou can do it rpc-style..i wrote such a program with Java RMI at university) or rather p2p (i.e. no central point. would be more complex (at least if you don´t want to use Multicast) though more flexible) ?
