Extensions of ConcertChat
Currently, we are working
on a couple of extensions to ConcertChat, e.g.:
·
Synchronisation
of timestamps: Currently for each message the local time (of the author) is
displayed. In the future we will use server-based timestamps to synchronize all
users.
·
Support
for smileys (emoticons) and other pictures (so-called collabicons)
·
Cut
& Paste for messages
·
Clickable
URLs
·
Support
for multiple groups and group formation: We develop a “virtual lobby” from
where people can go to different chat rooms in order to work in small groups.
Other extensions which
might come in the future:
·
Support
for formulas in the chat. For example, users can enter the Latex notation for a
math expression and the system displays the formula as the math expression.
·
