And it is great! :)

Here is an extended version: https://github.com/q2apro/q2a-chat-extended (just in case)

Answer 2

Has anyone tried this:

https://github.com/arjunsuresh/chat

?

Seems like this is probably the most fully featured option right now, although I would really like to see it display a cached chatlog to non-logged in users instead.
