|Feature open issues and risks=Some points that are still completely open to discussion but need a decision before or as part of the "Design" stage here:
* Should IM conversations happen inside Thunderbird replace (removing the need for the user to have another IM client on his system), or should they happen in the user's current default IM client(like http links are viewed in the default web browser)? (In the first case, or attempt Thunderbird would connect directly to IM servers through IM protocols, on the second case, Thunderbird would integrate tightly with it? (ie use the IM software installed IM clients vs connect directlyon the local system to share data.)
* Should IMs go above the current content (the emails the user is reading or the email he is composing) or be contained in some specific area (tab? folder? other window?) where the user would have to go to exchange IMs.
