Have chats in your ownCloud!
Because this app was never released as production ready, and there was a good Chat app we decided to stop developing this app and instead create a Chat backend for https://github.com/owncloud/jsxc.chat.
The Chat app depends on ownCloud 7.0.3 or newer. This means master (https://github.com/owncloud/core) can be used too. You can't directly use the Git repo without [building the CSS and JS code] (#important-run-grunt-when-you-change-js-files). You can use the package which is build every time a commit is pushed to the repository. Download it here

Because both the JavaScript and CSS source files are minified to one single file, grunt must be run after every change. The minified files are ignored by git. To simply test this repo see Install
To run grunt you'll need NodeJS. On Arch Linux this can be installed via:
sudo pacman -S nodejs
On Ubuntu this can be installed via:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
On OpenSUSE this can be installed via:
sudo zypper install nodejs
Install the dependencies (run from inside the Chat app folder)
npm install
Now you can run grunt (also inside the Chat app folder)
grunt
