Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Is someone interested in the ACS 4.x Java Chat Module for openacs 3.2.x?

I think that there should always be a package available that doesn't require any special client installs or dependency on java or javascript working on the client side etc.  I participate with an international group that wants both "modern" conveniences and a backup in case the fancy one doesn't work. Sometimes one only has options to chat via half-broken clients or unpopularly configured machines etc.

So, I suggest keeping the original http ACS chat, and adding at least one of the others...
