<p>It is used by <ahref="http://github.com/collective/collective.xmpp.chat">collective.xmpp.chat</a>, which is a <ahref="http://plone.org">Plone</a> instant messaging add-on.</p>
<p>The ultimate goal is to enable anyone to add chat functionality to their websites, regardless of the backend.</p>
<p>Currently this is not yet the case, as the code makes ajax calls to the (Plone) backend
<li>Typing notifications (i.e when the contact is typing)</li>
<li>Third person messages (/me )</li>
<li>Multi-user chat in chatrooms</li>
<li>Topics can be set for chatrooms</li>
<li>Full name and profile picture support</li>
