This release marks the launch of TimeMerlin Chat—a new way for you to communicate with your co-workers in real-time. The emails have been the primary ways to communicate, but when more immediacy is necessary—for example when discussing the bug or an issue which involves lots of talks going back and forth —the emails might not be enough. Chat aims to fill this gap.
Chat bar is placed at the bottom of your browser—no installation or assembly required. From this bar you can view your list of online colleagues and open conversations with any or all of them. Unlike the Inbox, the messages are delivered and displayed to your colleague as soon as they're sent, so you should expect a response right away and without any page loading. You can collapse conversations to get them out of the way, and go offline if you don't want to use Chat at all. Chat is there when you want it, and tucked away when you don't.
Conversations are one-to-one, completely private, and only between TimeMerlin colleagues.
