New description:

 In order to provide chat-based support, we need a web front-end.

 It will have two sides:

 1. Allow support assistants to create and delete invitation tokens.
 2. Allow users to get a chat interface that will connect them to the
 support assistant who issued the token.

 The latter part will use [http://forge.webpresso.net/projects/prodromus
 Prodromus] (maybe with some modifications) as the JavaScript XMPP client.

 Progress will be posted as comments and the code will live on
 [https://github.com/SheriefAlaa/webchat/ github].

 Tweaked the description to be less general. Hope you don't mind.
