Kalessin, I agree with your points, but there’s not a lot of server heavy-lifting to do with a chat client. The data being stored is textual – and even if files were being swapped, they could simply be stored as blobs. Nothing that a barebones WordPress-capable server couldn’t handle.
The server that this plugin references isn’t even active; ergo, the plugin doesn’t work.
I still believe that this plugin should be removed.
Kvetching about the layout of the new admin console seem to be all the rage now … I really like it, and find it hard to go back to the admin console in my “legacy” 2.3 WordPress sites.
The only thing I find myself doing from time to time is hitting the “Write a New Page” button by accident, when I really meant to create a post. Would be great if the inclusion (or exclusion) of these buttons on the main dashboard page was configurable. I create pages very seldom (and have no use for that button on the main dashboard page), but others may want this.
