Future plugin idea I want to investigate. Anyone else interested? Does anyone know the set of technologies to use for this?

Both Google Hangouts chat and Slack implement this well and it's great and quick to use.

Don't have time to work on it at the moment - but this would need server backend support for file handling (php, ruby, python, somthing)

There are a few XEPs that handle image distribution via XMPP - but implementing somthing like https://gist.github.com/pinceladasdaweb/9807321 and sending links would have lower server requirements.
