Facebook-style Statuses

Hi,

I run a small nonprofit in Vermont dedicated to helping kids learn how to express themselves well. We are nearing completion of the beta version of our new teen writing community and have one last hope and wish: That we can make Statuses (Facebook-style Statuses in D6) refresh in real time on both ends of the spectrum -- author and reader.

Facebook-style Statuses 6.x-2.0-Beta1 has just been released! The 2.x branch is now considered stable and more or less ready for production use. Now is the time to test it and submit any bug reports or feature requests before a full 2.0 release.

Hello everyone. I am the author of the Facebook-style Statuses module, and I have recently completed writing the reorganized 2.x branch (now in CVS/dev). The API should be clearer now and there are a few cool new features. In the next week or so I'm going to add/update two of the three remaining features: Advanced Forum integration and AHAH-driven status submission.

However, the one thing that I don't have any idea how to do is Views 2 integration. I've gone through the documentation and tried working through it before without success. So I would really appreciate it if someone who was knowledgeable in this area could guide me along with my foray into Views--whether that means reviewing integration that I write that doesn't work or actually writing the integration for the module yourself. I consider this an essential feature of the 2.x branch since it means not just integration with Views but also with FriendList and Flag Friend, so I will do it completely by myself at some point if no one steps up to help, but it would save me untold time and pain if someone could offer a little guidance in this area. And of course you'd have my perpetual gratitude.
