How about a built in chat function
I think i'd be pretty useful to have a very simple built in chat function, which allows to talk to the friends. This would be particularly useful if you are working on something you are sharing on wuala.
Of course there are many chat programs out there, but who needs all that fancy stuff, just to ask wheter your friend thinks your file is good or not?

Inappropriate?this has been discussed many times before. please look for similar threads and keywords using the searchfunction on getsatisfaction.
as wuala is not a instantmessenger program but a distributed storage technology which can run in the background, run without being logged in and/or run also at many multiple nodes (=machines) with the same username/password/credentials it really is pretty useless to ask for a chat, as one user can be at like a million places at once, thus meaning nothing at all that a user is logged into the wuala client, no matter if at one computer only or at many computers at once...
i wonder when people will start to realize that wuala ist not a classic peer-to-peer nor a chat/messenger/forum/insertyourbuzzwordhere program at all..
wake up people, wuala is a distributed shared storage program. its a big hole where you dump data and can exchange your local diskspace for redundant storage inside the wuala storage network (for either security by redundancy, encryption and so on)
wuala is about safely and remotely storaging data at many places. this is good for example for data recovery/desaster scenarios and a little bit for sharing.
but this is not a chat, not a forum, not (really) a social network or anything "fancy" thats already going on out there on the net...
wuala is not skype, not msnmessenger, nor yahoo, nor webforums, nor webfilehosting.....
get over it.

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?Well, maybe some file rating mechanism could be fine, especially for large groups - so you have some kind of user-driven favourites.
To ask such questions, just use comments.
Btw. take a closer look at Microsoft Office Groove 2007, they have some nice features, that would also be great in Wuala! -
Inappropriate?Yeah, of course wuala isn't a chat program, and like I wrote in my post, there are more than enough chat programs out there.
What I was thinking of, was something more like the "comment" function, but more or less in realtime and without you having to delete all the comments afterwards.
And actually it has been indirectly discussed once or twice, but wasn't brought as an idea afaik. -
Inappropriate?I think it would be a good idea not to have a chat function but a chatbox or mini-forum for groups. This could help community driven groups to form since members of public groups have no real way of communicating from within the software.
If this is not possible, it would be nice to be able to set a "group link" just like the chat or email function with friends. This link could then point to a user-created website/forum. -
Inappropriate?You can comment on folders now, a group I'm in has set up a "Plauderecke" folder where we chat in the comments of that folder until some forum or similar feature is implemented.
You can also set a link to a homepage like in your own profile below the tags.
I'd still love to see some Office-Groove features in Wuala, imho chat and forums are really good implemented there. (http://office.microsoft.com/de-at/gro...)
