Chat
The Drupal Chat group hosts discussions of real-time chat development.
Live Agent - 3rd party alternative of Drupal chat
In case you don't want to spend too much time with any Drupal chat / support system configuration and development, you can use some external application. Advantage of this solution is, that it is faster to configure and all perfomance needs handles external server. Disadvantage is costs, of course.
But, it is easy to calculate what is best for you.
In last time I spent much hours with helpdesk tool, which I really like - Live Agent.
Nodejs.module Drupal 6 branch
Thanks to the efforts of julien, we now have a Drupal 6 port of the Nodejs module.
It still needs work, so anyone who asked for a D6 port is invited to get the code and test it! Bug reports and patches welcome.
Node.js code sprint
Node.js code sprint! You know you want one! Below is a (by no means) complete list of things we want to hack on:
- Improving the settings pages
- Improving documentation
- Making sockets writeable from client connections as well as from Drupal
- Adding Node.js integration to existing Drupal modules
- Working on Node.js server extension code
- Your idea here!
The tentative date for the sprint is Sunday, April 24th.

Chat Software for (Non-Profit) Youth Counselling
Cyberhus.dk is a Danish 100% non-profit organisation founded in 2004 as a partner charity under the youth charity, Ungdommens Vel (Youth Welfare). The website is built as a “virtual house” that offers online counseling for vulnerable children and teens (age 12-18). Counseling is undertaken mainly by volunteer chat-counselors, all with relevant educational backgrounds.
We are planning a redesign of our chat software and have agreed to ask the Open Source Community for guidance and help in the planning and development of this software.

Integrate node.js or ape to DrupalChat, port it to D7 and add new features

I want to integrate node.js or ajax push engine to Drupalchat and port it to Drupal 7 as part of GSoC 2011. I want to know the views of the Drupal community on this. Will it be helpful? If yes, then I will prepare a detailed outline and post it here. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

http://groups.drupal.org/node/137754
The chatroom module needs a D7 upgrade.
As maintainer of that module and the nodejs.module, i'd like to see chatroom ported to D7 and integrated with nodejs.
I'm happy to mentor the process.
new nodejs module
Finally scratched an itch and created a Node.js Integration module last night.
The code is pre-alpha, and will eat your lunch and kill your kittens - please do not use the code unless you are a developer looking to help beat this in to shape.
Feedback and co-maintainers welcome!

Wanted - A 3rd party tabbed-rooms chat to integrate with drupal or a "real" chat drupal module
Hi guys,
I have spent literally a few days looking for what I need and did not get a reasonable solution, so I asking for help.
I need a chatting capability which will give all of the following features, most are usually found in traditional chat systems. These are:
1. Anonymous users can take part in the chat
2. A main entrance room ("lobby")
3. A list on a sidebar with all chatters
4. User can open a private chat with another user by clicking her name (the name in the list and/or her name inside the lobby room on the line where she said something)
integrate iJab, an AJAX XMPP web chat client into Drupal
I have written a module, which is my first Drupal module to integrate iJab into Drupal. I think I do in a very different way from XMPPFramework for I know very little about Drupal. (I hope somebody could implment users-sync, roster-sync and etc. in XMPPFramework)
If anybody is interested with this module, please go to http://drupal.ijab.im to experience it and I want to know where I can put the module.
Subscriptions don't work
So I created a ticket in the DXMPP queue that I'm hoping to get some eyes on.
Basically, DXMPP registers users from the web server, and uses User Relationships to track a user's roster. Then on a user's page load, it sets a flag in Drupal.settings to add the users to their roster and subscribe via XMPP. After this is done, an AJAX call goes back to Drupal to keep things synchronized. Same on unsubscribe.
XMPP Themable Client?
I'm looking for a Drupal XMPP client that utilizes the theme layer. The XMPP Framework seems fairly well developed, but that is a glaring omission there from what I can tell. Any other options? Is there any work in that direction? Should I just contribute my own plug-in for that module?
On a related note, what XMPP servers do folks recommend?
Thanks,
Aaron
chatroom 6.x-2 BETA3 is ready for testing
this should be the last BETA - next release should be an RC! thanks to all the people who submitted patches, bug reports and ideas :-)
there's now an upgrade path from the 6.x-1 branch to the 6.x-2 branch, testers more than welcome!
release notes here:
chatroom 6.x-2 beta is ready for testing
the first beta for the development branch of chatroom module is now ready for testing.
compared to the current stable branch, this beta is faster and more feature complete. the focus now is on fixing remaining bugs, updating documentation, creating an upgrade path and making the UI nicer. beta-testers are very welcome to help shake out bugs, and any users with a 6.x-1 data set that can help with testing the upgrade path are especially welcome :-)
new features for the 6.x-2 branch:

second 6.x-2.0-alpha chatroom release is up!
the second alpha of the drupal 6 development branch of the chatroom module is ready to go. this is a big update. many, many bugs fixed from 6.x-2.0-alpha1, and some nice new features. this branch now has more features than the 6.x-1.0 branch, and although its a long way from stable, is now a lot less likely to kill your kittens.
this is ready for wider testing, but not yet for production use, and there no upgrade path from the 6.x-1.0 branch yet.
