Glad to see one more project, can already see some bugs :) would love to contribute. Shameless plug http://raspchat.com/ I have done similar hobby project which runs server on Raspberry Pi at my work place and it can handle quite some load. Last time it got posted on 4chan it was spammed by ~5K connections constantly pounding spam messages, but it handled traffic well (it did slow the whole thing down to it's knees).
