I've worked with folks who are chatting online with their peers, constantly batting around ideas. I've also worked with folks who adamantly refuse and think it's a waste of time. Are online live chatting forums of particular use to you? Why or why not? Internal to your company, or external and world-wide? Does your employer encourage o...

Are there any good team-chat websites, preferably in Python, ideally with CherryPy or Trac? This is similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/46612/whats-a-good-freeware-collaborative-ie-multiuser-instant-messenger#46660, but a few primary differences: 1) I very much want to host the server. 2) I don't care if Smileys are included...

Hi folks, I've got an application which i want to send some alerts information. Currently, it's firing off emails -> works perfectly fine.

My team communicates a lot with IM. We'll sometimes use IM to ask a question even to someone who's in the next cube over. The reason for this is that we all find that answering an IM is much less disrupting than talking. Still, I find that the blinking message window can be disrupting when I'm heads down coding. I can't help but lo...
I was thinking about integrating some instant messaging function into an existing ASP.NET web application, e.g: the web application can display the online-status of users (are they currently logged in with their IM client) users can send messages from the web application to the IM client of other users users can initiate a IM chat from...
I'm currently working on a project that is building a java-based desktop application to interface with a website. We want to incorporate IM capabilities, so we decided to use XMPP. The problem is our application has other features, and anyone using another client to connect to our XMPP server will cause problems with our website (e.g. ...
It's very easy to send an email programmatically. For example, in Perl you can do this: open(MAIL, "|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t") or die; print MAIL "From: ...\n"; print MAIL "To: ...\n"; print MAIL "Subject: ...\n"; print MAIL "\n"; print Mail "... body ..."; close(MAIL); I'd like to collect simple, self-contained snippets of code fo...

Hi, I am working on a private messasing functionality for my site, is there a way to get push notifications from the server, that the user has received a new message? the only technique I know is to constantly poll the server via ajax to see if there are new messages, and reload the messenger window if needed. thanks for any feedback! ...
Would a script that sets display messages for instant messengers be simple or complex? After some searching, there doesn't seem to be any information about this at all. For the sake of an example, if I had a text file of quotations, would it be possible to have the google talk display message change to a different quotation hourly? ...

I have done some research about lib-purple. But its not writte...
I'm trying to learn XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol), and start a project using the technology. What are some good books out there? What is the best?
