** IRC and Twitter are also interesting candidates:
*** they are open (or at least documented)
*** they are widely used in the Mozilla comunitycommunity*** the user interactions are significantly different from those with XMPP, which will force us to iron out some UI integration issues that may be unoticed unnoticed with XMPP.
* A plugin system should let users add support for more protocols (even closed protocols) with add-ons.
IM accounts management
* While setting up an email account, Thunderbird will attempt to detect if an IM account is likely associated with the email account (@gmail.com address? Existance Existence of DNS SRV records pointing to an XMPP server for the domain?).
** If an IM account is found, the default action would be to configure Thunderbird to use it.
** It should be possible to opt-out from this behavior (checkbox "also use this account for instant messaging", checked-by default?)
