This level of functionality for the chatter box is already available in the form of the Framechat chatterbox client and the Java chatterbox - The latter of which I use on a regular basis without any problems whatsoever.
Yes, I am aware of that.
But as I tried to state initially;
hence "*the* java client";
this is about making such functionality
more readily available/convenient.
I'm sure this may be very similar to framechat,
but again my point it to make it more useable
even if you don't have the time/means/inclination
to install framechat somewher. Why ought there be
dozens of installations of something somewhere
that is effectively a website when it could be
centrally located and available to all?
