Hi Jeff,
Sounds interesting. Where is the source code, what license does it have, and you have an example of this code running?

Our motivation is three-fold (in no particular order)
- We think this would add a great new dimension to the Wikipedia
community 2. We are a start-up and this would help prove out our vision for the need to facilitate on-demand conversations between interested parties in a variety of contexts 3. Assuming our vision has merit, there are revenue opportunities that could emerge from this wholly outside of the Wikipedia ecosystem

We are very interested in bringing real-time discussion to Wikipedia.
We'd like to use our Online Collaboration Platform (acutally a modified, Open-Source variant) to enable the creation of a community of "Wikistructors" - experts who are available to speak with (or text with) anyone who is on Wikipedia and wants to talk. We can also enable people to connect with others who are on the same page or who have recently been on that page (assuming all parties wish to be contacted of course). These connections would enable on-demand live chat, audio and/or video conversation.
I'm throwing this out there for comments/questions/thoughts.
Thanks!
Jeff
