Not discourage you but this is a "been there, done that" kind of project.  
You could learn more from reading somebody else is code. What hasn't been  
done, and this would be very cool, is a chat program that works  
peer-to-peer with no central server. To do this, you would probably need  
to know about distributed hash tables and methods of piercing address  
translation firewalls (think UDP).

First however, I would suggest taking a look at https://jitsi.org/ and see  
how they do things. You can learn a lot from these people. They are very  
smart.
