As well as images and files uploaded and it could be on my server and skinned to match in with my site completely I would pay for that. I would pay good money for that in fact.

If only there was though :(

Ok, but considering this, I think there are more important things to do actually, before it goes to Chat.

But with searchable history, and topics of course (to set what mile one is talking about) it makes sense.

Here is a real life example - I switched to Mac somewhere around New Year and I use Adium for chat (ICQ and Jabber only). On PC I used Trillian Pro. Now, I can't import old history from Trillian so I sometimes need to turn on my PC, boot Windows, login and open Triallian just to find a file that project manager sent me last October. Too much work IMO.

With web based solution everything is online, searchable and integrated with project management tool.

So, I see benefit of chat plugin, but ONLY if it is well implemented.

I think there are enough system around for internally Instant Messaging.

And you can also give Jabber a chance if you want it free in every kind.

AJAX can really slow down a web browser under any type of use, but especially heavy use. It'd be much better to inetgrate something simple and more static, like refreshing an iFrame (page within a page) or so on... It's quite easy to do this kind of thing. (or so I think)

BTW.. I'm learning PHP now so maybe I can contribute. No promises though! ;)

Add that too activeCollab performance issues and you'll see why integration of two tools at this point is not possible.

So, it might not be to hard to get this thing integrated with activecollab
