I think Rainer has.

Personally I'd suggest XMPP instead, which already is federated on the
protocol layer, has lots of extensions that can provide a good user
experience also with multiple clients, and has multiple available
clients for different platforms to begin with.

If you definitively need a web frontend for XMPP I'd have suggested
http://getkaiwa.com/ though that seems to be unmaintained these days.
Not sure about https://www.jsxc.org/ or https://movim.eu/.
(And no, I have no suggestion how to SAML-enable those web frontends,
since -- just like "webmail" apps being IMAP clients -- you'll run
into the 2-tier problem then.)
