Where did you find it? We're a small nonprofit in Washington State, we do job training for low income folks. Thanks!

However, I'd probably put it more into the mail client as a primary interface, since it's a communication feature, rather than the browser. The JavasScript API for web-based contents is certainly a needed feature. Together with Massimiliano - author of SamePlace you just mentioned - and a few others we're trying to develop a technology, sometimes called Xicklets, sometimes just Jabber API for JavaScript, which would be similiar to the technology you see in sameplace nowadays, however standardized. It's also similiar to the meebo platform, or the upcoming MSN javascript API. Personally I'm responsible for enabling pure web-based clients to exploit the functionality provided by the API, in a secure manner. There's much work needed, and we are eagerly accepting people who want to work with us on such problems :) In the future, I expect widely deployed clients, like Pidgin and Psi, to have a plugin interface for firefox, which exposes the functionality much like sameplace, while maintaining their own look-and-feel on the desktop. The mailing list is here: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/api (We all have each other on jabber of course, and it's a very fresh list, so not much traffic yet) Personally I think – and agree with Robert from Telepathy project here – that presence + messaging could be a system-wide feature, rather than a separate applications.
