i also think appolux has a good point, perhaps the next will be an ajax-voip-server when the accoustic sound is fully operational, then by talking in a normal voice other blenderverse people could hear you in the same city, and if you scream they could hear you in a greater range (accoustic distance)
just kidding ! but i really like that blender lives up to it's name, how long untill we can make fruitjuice ?

Is there a public Verse server IP for testing purposes?

I agree with Apollux… and I understand concerns of bloatware, but by adding verse support you're asking for a collaborative system where people can give/take orders, and solve problems quickly… without goofing with a IM client. otherwise what would you do? chat back in forth in a text object "Hey open msn! But I only use yahoo…"

What about adding annotations to objects? …and perhaps it would be helpful to see these in a forum like view… threaded, so you can comment on objects, respond etc… perhaps this could be expanded from the outliner view?

This chat will be as proper as any other chat client. The only thing that is needed to have it work with other clients is some sort of gateway, but it should be possible.

wow… coffee makers, microwaves and kitchen sinks and yet – no *teapot* – lol … hmm – it would be good if somebody intergrated a proper chat client into blender through some sort of interface though – think of gaim or something being sort of useable through the blender interface without having to keep switching between windows when you're chatting with non-blender friends aswell… or maybe that really is going a bit too far; but it wouldn't be that much extra if all it did was intergrate the interface into blender while the real chat client worked in the background in a separate process – epat.

Back when the a Verse enabled Blender was published for the first time I was the first to ask/beg for a chat window to be integrated into Blender.

As soon as you try to work, and I mean real work, not just toying around with Verse and a partner located in a different room than the one you are in, the chat window becomes A MUST to coordinate what you are both trying to achieve.

Of course you could use a third party chat service like MSN Messenger or the like, but the need to constantly swicht between Blender and your chat application becomes distracting and tiresome after a very little while.

Bottom line is: Try to do some REAL WORK with a REAL DEADLINE with Verse and you will see yourself crying out loud for a Chat window inside Blender. So I can only congratulate Nathan for making it real.

Does this mean the forums will be redundant? :-(
