[erlang-questions] How to build web chat in Erlang?

[Jesse Gumm]

Thanks for the heads up.  There are some auto-reconnection
capabilities built into Nitrogen, but they are a little nasty and
undocumented and this particular page does not use them.  I'm working
to improve this in the upcoming 2.3 release (Which should be ready in
the next couple of weeks).

I'll do some playing around tonight and shoot you an email off-list
tonight or tomorrow.

-Jesse
