Any plans on creating a module for chat room, or Ajax-instant messaging?

Any idea on which avenues to take if wanted these modules?

I think it would be a great addition, although I'm not sure its the type of thing that I would be able to do well enough. I'm going to be announcing a contest very soon to try to get others to start creating some good modules (and skins/themes), so maybe one will be created that may. As for how to go about it -- I can't speak to the chat room technical issues, but I do believe that the WebPortal framework puts very few requirements on you so that its mostly just a matter of creating an ASP.NET control as you would have done already. That also means that you may be able to easily encapsulate an existing control that provides the functionality you want -- which is what I have done with my file tree/viewer since I chose to just wrap my existing controls that provided that functionality.

Thanks, Paul Wilson
