No, sorry. I was talking about the plain Google chat service, the one
you can access while using Gmail in your web browser:

I'm always online in GChat, as it is up once I enter GMail inside
Firefox (or Chrome, or Safari, or any modern browser)... This is very
convenient if GMail is used for managing all your incoming/outgoing
mail.

Chat for coding collaboration

The steps are simple:

  1) Invite partychat2 at gmail.com to chat using the contacts on the left

  2) Open a chat with partychat2

  3) In the window type '/join petsc'

  4) Then we can all talk at once, and it will be saved I think

I guess by using GChat you really mean use PartyChat (
http://techwalla.googlepages.com/home )?  No google doesn't support
IMAP or POP with GChat.  There are some codes out there that do turn
any jabber server into emails but they don't seem very polished (
http://people.happycoders.org/dax/projects/jmc ).  I guess since most
people are into gchat I shouldn't go on about irc.

If you are going to use chat rooms I would also recommend getting to
know dpaste ( http://dpaste.com ) which I find invaluable when
debugging someone's code over a chat room.

I use my mail reader for GChat. I think Apple can do that.

   I want to use may mail reader as my front end

It happens to be Mail.app but that is not important

This is what irc is for and why lots of open source codes are on
freenode servers.

http://freenode.net/

Then you can pick what ever chat front end you want, log things for
others to see, and so on.

I have found chat to be the best way to resolve simple problems when coding,
especially
questions about parts I did not write. It would be nice if we all had access
to the same
chat program to facilitate this kind of interaction in our small group.

I tend to prefer GChat. Does anyone else have a preference? or really hate
chat?
