I seem to recall the OLPC project having some form of mesh network chat. Probably the same protocol and software, but a different GUI and with file sharing added would be a good start. I’m sure it’s all Telepathy goodness too!

Personally I think that file sharing (making a folder public on the network, to all or to a group) is more useful and simpler than file sending (sending a file once, to one person).

I wish that gnome-user-share or even SMB file sharing worked for me in Ubuntu.

Making this compatible with at least iChat sounds like an excellent idea.

Link-local XMPP and Jingle would be supreme for this.
