Yeah, and we've improved it at Snow Sprint 2008.
I'm gonna work on it at the Paris Sprint, next week.
I'm planning to make the fileupload fully working and broaden the use of 
the tools we already written to make people able to write apps like 
qi.LiveChat that use eventPush as a backend to push messages to the client.

In the meantime, I'm gonna take a look at qi.LiveChat to see how we 
could integrate eventPush in the picture.
