Is there any documentation for it?
for now, it's all here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7964 quick start guide, compile: 1. recompile qxmpp from sources available at: http://retis.sssup.it/~tommaso/qxmpp (or install straight the .deb available there) 2. compile LyX with the chat patch configuring with '--enable-qt5' '--with-extra-inc=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtNetwork:/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/QtGui' use: 1. start LyX, choose Tools->LyX Chat 2. in the "Buddies" pane, put your Id (username@domain) of an existing XMPP account (e.g., create one for free on Jabber) 3. click "Connect", enter your access password (these will be cached in your $HOME/.lyx/ as \user_chat_id etc... 4. add/connect to a new buddy by using the "Add" button (enter the username@domain of the buddy) 5. double-click on a buddy, and have fun chat :-)! (your buddy can connect either with LyX or a regular text client, e.g., Pidgin, in such case they would see LaTeX text segments rather than enjoying the beautifully rendered LyX) Notes: 1. no networking is ever started by LyX, unless you start the "LyX Chat" 2. if you close the chat dialogs, the XMPP client keeps running and will show the chat back if anyone writes you 3. an option to shut down any chat / network might be useful, due to 2, as well as a statusbar indication that the chat is still connected 4. your XMPP password is stored cleartext in your .lyx/ directory (an option could be useful to never store the password if wanted) Videos of the LyX chat in action: -) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnVxbX8A3w -) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Xfi8Ohx7Y (+Irish intro) Please write, should anything be unclear, thanks :-)!
