HI Oscar!
There can be a facility for users to have a chat between them (one-one or a
group chat).
I did a google search for chat apps that we can just hook into e-cidadania
but looks like
there are not much. I found a few django based personal chat projects that
people have written, so if we
decide to have a chat app, we will have to extend and customize them. If
we want something to be
written from scratch, twisted and tornado are good choice for networking
libraries.
