Our plan is to get most of the kinks worked out so we can launch and then we will be posting either a plugin or a product so others can use it as well. I'm sure there will be issues that come up that will need to be ironed out, so we'll be looking for help from the community to identify them.

We have deployed the chat on the live site, but there were some changes we had to make from our original plan. We found that loading the JS on every page was just not going to work, it was taking too long for the browser to process the JS each time. We played with different ways of speeding this up, but even as we got the download to be as quick as we could, it was the processing of the JS that held us up.
We decided to go another route that would give the same functionality, but not require the repeated downloads on each page. What we came up with was to use an iframe to anchor the chat to the bottom of the page and then load the rest of the site above it. It worked like a charm, and the only downside is that it will be hard for people to bookmark pages when the chat is activated. We made the chat something a member had to start, and then also added a "quit chat" button that gets them out of the iframe.
The contacts match up with the buddy list, the login has been automated, and the chat windows alarm and keep the conversation even when the window is minimized.

Here is a screen shot of what we have. The gray bar at the bottom is the anchored bar, everything above that is running in an iframe. From this version we also got rid of the add/remove icons and just push the people to their buddy list within vbulletin to handle management of buddies. We also added the logout button at the bottom of the buddy list window.

Going to see what it will take to share this with the community to help work out more of the bugs that I'm sure are hidden in there somewhere.

this looks nice will you make it a CC app or a paid app?

This would be a huge hit, if you can get it fully integrated.

I've taken a quick screencast of what we have working now. I can't open the site up just yet, but we have a dev site where we'll be installing the Facebook style chat soon. so far we haven't had any complaints, but its hard to tell how much its being used. Hopefully we can find some time to put all the files together to post for download soon.

nice.. hope to see this up and running soon.

did you integrate the users group and combine the needed tables so that it works off of vbulletin? I tried the standalone and its less then what I thought it would be but if it pulls the info from vbulletins freinds group that would be cool and if you made it so you dont need to join a group just to chat that would be pretty cool.
