Not Zope specific, but may be important for many web-masters... Some days ago I was told to make a chatroom in our site. I took a look at some products, but no one has satisfied me yet. If anybody knows about _good_ chatroom, please let me know ! Where _good_ means: + highly customizable view of the chatroom + non-flickering refresh (I used jzChat from www.javazoom.net, but it uses JavaScript on client side, so refresh is flickering) So, it should be Java applet on client side. It can be almost anything on server side - Java servlet, Java stand-alone application, native binary program, standard IRC server, CGI script, Zope Product, etc... I don't need many channels at one time. If you have seen (almost) ready-to-use chatroom solution, your help is greatly appreciated ! :) ololo@zeus.polsl.gliwice.pl /--------------------------------------\ | `long long long' is too long for GCC | \--------------------------------------/
The most awesome - though commercial - chat system that I know of, is "SpinChat": homepage: http://chat.spin.de/en/index.shtml try one of the demos: http://chat.spin.de/en/demos/index.shtml or see it in action and chat with others: http://www.spinchat.com It's a highly configurable java chat system. I would rather like to see one of the OpenSource Chats get integrated into Zope (e.g. get pseudonym from LoginManager UserSource, integrate administration in Zope management interface etc.), I'm not very happy with ZRTChat. http://www.zope.org/Members/jwashin/ZRTChat It's a great example and "100% Zope", but it will (would) need a lot of enhancements for prod sites.

Although it's not ported to Zope yet (I'm too much of a newbie), I have a very simple, non-flickering, streaming chat system available as open source at http://screwdriver.net/stutter/ It's not Java, but it does the trick. Try out the demo. The way it works, btw, is that it sends an "infinitely" long html page, never closing the HTTP connection, and only sending data when new messages are entered, then flushing the output thus far. It's written in PHP, and expects a SQL server. If nothing else, you can get an idea of how it works, and possibly write something similar in Python or whatnot. -- /chris/
