Forum OpenACS Development: Response to chat module and jabber server

beyond the notification issue...

ArsDigita uses AIM extensively (internally) and it's a crying shame that all of these conversations are lost instead of being archived.

Would it not be possible, though, to set up real-time, communal chat rooms for all people who are interested in a thread, and have the data captured & stored in the DB?

That is, use jabber to spawn a new chat room based on the thread name, with invitations to all who asked to be invited.

Having searchable archives of real-time messages along side the more traditional bboards would seem to be to be a valuable addition to openacs. (and not something that i've seen before..)
