Hi everybody,
one of the research projects we are involved in is about realtime
collaboration. One of the aspects we wanted to investigate was the
integration of a chat system within XWiki.
I've been working on this lately and I've built a prototype that uses
an embedded XMPP server for handling all the communication.
I still have to cleanup a bit the code before committing it, but I
took a video of how things work.
You can find it here:

make sure to change the video quality and to switch to fullscreen)
There are several things we need to address (authentication is one of
them), but I think we could have a functional extension pretty soon.
It's 1:30am right now, so I will give you more details in a next mail :)
Enjoy.
Thanks,
Fabio
