Sugar will gain a feature called overlay chat, once we've got higher priority collaboration stuff completed, which will automagically add chat functionality to any (sugarised, python) activity. There's no time frame on this feature yet though. > Looking at how the activity's communications are structured, and being > that we are in a early stage of sugar, I do not think this is too lofty > of an intra communication/display development goal. Unfortunately I must point out that some activity developers have assumed, "if it works now it will always work", and then been bitten by the security framework (or even just changes in Sugar).
