Well, NWDC doesn't have chat presently but what would it take to put a chat function on here? I think it'd be a great way to get to know people I've never met even better and I could pass the time in class chatting with friends.
I'm completely ignorant regarding this sort of thing, but other sites like UTD and Dive Matrix have it.

Speaking of which, it just so happens The Dead are playing at The Gorge in 10 days. I'm hoping to go.

Not Jerry, but the band is playing on. People watching at a Dead show was something else. Kinda miss it. :geek:

See, this would be a great topic for a chat conversation. We need chat.

Or we could chat about how tasty my garlic ginger teriyaki pork chops are going to taste after I grill them.

I could probably set up a jabber server. Or an IRC server, and I can link a java interface so anyone could login.
Shouldn't take too long if anyone is interested.

I think the default on this project is to Spatman and Calvin. I don't speak jabber or Java the Hut and know nothing about this. I appreciate the offer - sounds smart to me, but they're the two that know what it going on with the code on this site. Spatty? Tangfish?

Doug, I hacked NWDC just the other day and installed a chat room.
It's HERE . Since I don't have actual root access I'm unable to fix the latency problem but it works if you are patient. Just refresh every minute or so and you're golden.

While we're at it lets badger Matt into installing the RSS mod for phpbb. Matt, we need feeds!

Forum post-chat isn't very cool. Ben, your hacking skills are lacking and I am very disappointed.
Come on Matt - we need chat and RSS!! :geek:
