We do not plan to add live chat this year. Maybe later, as a fee per use (technical support) service to large companies with profits going to the on-line experts (virtual support world-wide 24x7). However, there are no plans in the near future for this or any similar service by design.
There are problems with live chat; one of the greatest is that the 'useful information' to 'useless information' ratio is very low. Also, good information is buried in noise and chatter and not archived in a knowledge base for future users.
This is not a 'chat site' it is a 'knowledge management site' that stores knowledge for all users to enjoy and benefit today and years into the future.

DESCRIPTION
This is a composite widget designed to simplify the construction of chat applications. The widget contains display areas for chat messages,
user names and topic and an entry area. It automatically handles colourization of messages per nick and manages nick completion. A system
of hooks permit the application author to adjust display features. The main chat display area may be split for use displaying history or
for searching.
The widget is made up of a number of text widget and panedwindow widgets so that the size of each part of the display may be adjusted by
the user. All the text widgets may be accessed via widget passthrough commands if fine adjustment is required. The topic and names sections
can also be hidden if desired.
