Hello !
I'm looking for a chat component for a site that will open soon.
Im really interested by pfc that looks smart even if I'm aware taht there is the open question of optimisation for large chats.
The basic approach looks fine for me, and I will soon get the licence for commercial site that offer free access to the chat. licence number 2.
I'm just first doing some tests and validation before getting this component validated for my site.
You can see it at work there : http://www.square6.fr
go in the menu "Les discussions" and click on the option menu "Le chat".
For testing purposes, the chat is open for guests. After I will have validated it, it will be restricted to registered users, but the registration on square6 is free.
I have a few issues to fix / find an answer before deciding to keep pfc on my site and "invest" in it (not for the support fee, but may be in improvement suggestion or work on the performance of the system)
-some conflict with mootools have to be solved as i have mootools everywhere on my site
-open question on the performance of the system (i need to understand how it works before may be contribute and propose patches. the problem is that there is no visible (there) technical description. does it exists somewhere ? I go on reading the site)
