Has anyone successfully integrated chat with redmine?

Question

I was thinking that it would be cool if I could have a chat app as part of the interface for my Redmine installation. I did find a plugin that works with Juggernaut but it seems a while since there has been any downloads or updates of it and I'm reluctant to dive in. Has anyone tried this or something similar?

It's really easy to roll your own chat app using http://pusherapp.com, a sort of hosted websocket service. You can see an example of the one I built at http://wetcamp.us. If you're still interested in building out a chat app, I'd be happy to go into more detail on how I built mine. But I noticed this is an old question, so you've probably moved on...
