Summary	0002940: Strip friends and blocking system from chat addon; make into another addon (such as friendr)
Description	The idea behind stripping the friends item out of the chat addon is so that friends can work independently of the chat addon. Why this is important is because user privacy utilizes friends as an option, and so do activity feeds. Therefore, friends can still be useful even when chat is not used. The idea of stripping the blocking system out as well is to expand on its functionality (see child items).
