Forum OpenACS Q&A: How to make chat effective

Collapse
Posted by Ben Koot on
Hi folks, You may have seen my questiosn on chat earlier. Over the weekend I have gone through the the current system, and think there might be a relatively simple format to turn it into a usefull tool. I agree Jabber is more sophisticated, but unless somebody can prove me wrong, a chat solution that does not require client applications to be downloaded will be easier to be implement in a corporate environment, I am convinced these simple adjustments will help market OpenACS more, than use Jabber. I have over 8 months expereince running a corporate caht system, and can guarantee nobody will ever download a jabber client in this neck of the woods, unless it is authorized by management. And that's where the bottlerneck lies. It's great to have a more sophisticated jabber infrastructure for internal use by companies that decided to adopt this technology, but is useless if marketeers try to "sell" OpenAces as a business tool AT THIS MOMENT. I hope I am wrong b the way.
