It might eventually turn into Wave, then? Federated merge resolution with
signatures sounds very Wave like.

A similar project that's gestating at the moment is Subspace:

   https://www.bitcoinauthenticator.org/subspace/

It's being developed in the Bitcoin community because we need a way to move
small pieces of data around outside of the core Bitcoin P2P network, whilst
still being decentralised. But Chris Pacia who is designing it has already
made a prototype messaging app that uses it for both 1:1 and group chats.
Subspace is a much smaller project than Matrix though.

A well built general messaging system (that is not email) would make many
interesting apps easier to write.
