Zephyr users have access to several features not normally available in IM systems.  These may require more work, but also may help drive acceptance.  For some, documentation of differences in behavior may be sufficient.

Features to consider include:

  • Passive Chat - a chat context defined, but dormant until used - zephyr contexts may be dormant for *years*.
  • Multiple logins - XMPP allows for a user to be logged in from multiple places, but will only deliver a message to one instance (most recently active one?).  
  • Chatroom Logging
  • Topic tags within a chat context, for cases where one multi-user chatroom has discussions on many subjects at once.
  • No labels
