Yes, I am a good contact for this. My husband is an excellent programmer (he does not work for the library) and is the brains behind the operation. This project was put into production in the Fall semester of 2007 at UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, and NCSU. While it has worked well, there are also some bugs and serious limitations. We've stopped developing this particular version, which was peer-to-peer, and now we're putting efforts into a version built around a Jabber/XMPP server. Management will be done over a web interface. The first part we're releasing is a web chat widget (no Flash required). Once that's stable, we'll move forward from there to integrate with the queuing/routing pieces from the original Pidgin4Lib. Interested? We'll get more organized soon, but for now: http://libraryh3lp.blogspot.com/ http://code.google.com/p/libraryh3lp/wiki/LibraryH3lp Best wishes to all, -Pam.
