New description:

 One of SponsorO's deliverables is to provide webchat support to users.

 The current plan is to use "Prodromus", which is a webchat system that
 uses an anonymous XMPP server as its back-end. This has all been
 implemented on Moschatum.

 It was decided during the Winter developers meeting 2014 that the best way
 to do this is though an invitation based token system.

 Progress will be posted as comments and the code will live on
 [https://github.com/SheriefAlaa/webchat/ github].
