Revisiting this thread because we're about to have 6x more people using
our network for a week...

I have created a page on the wiki for this infor since I think that's a
more elegant and useful way to curate this information. The wiki page is:
https://github.com/libremesh/lime-packages/wiki/LAN-messaging-apps

The content of that page is copied here for convenience.
