Babble: Instant messaging client for Plone
Babble is an instant messaging service for Plone. It consists of babble.client as the Plone front-end client and babble.server, a Zope2 messaging service, as the backend chat service.
The client consists of an Online contacts portlet with which you can initiate new chats. Chat sessions occur in modal dialog chatboxes which make use of JQuery and Ajax polling to provide seamless, real-time messaging.
During inactive periods, the polling interval gradually becomes longer until it reaches a specific (configurable) maximum polling interval. Communication between the client and server is achieved with JSON packets sent via XML-RPC.

- An 'online users' portlet provides a list of currently online users
- Configurable polling intervals
- Clickable URLs recieved via chat messages
- Requests to the messaging service are password authenticated
