[Building Sakai] chat in presence

[Charles Hedrick]

I appreciate this. I'm going to talk with our user support people. This was an approach I considered. The problem is that (1) you can only have one active at a time (2) it's visible to everyone. I'm not sure whether that's a problem or not. My thought was either to create a new chat room dynamically or to use a different infrastructure.

Is anyone working on a text chat to other people in the site, presumably triggered by clicking on their name in the presence list? I have in mind something like the facebook chat. I'd be inclined to use the infrastructure from chat rooms rather than going outside to another chat server, to avoid having to synchronize accounts with another service.
