Shoutbox or not?

Having a separate page with an IRC implementation means very little; people can go to IRC through any number of pages or programs. Would only be different if I managed to integrate it in the homepage, but I don't see that happening...

I'm still not clear on what you mean by "integrate".
If you're talking about linking the CPCwiki username to the IRC username, then no, that's not gonna happen.
But if that's a requirement, then you're kinda out of options all together.

I don't think it means very little to offer visitors a chat-page. Chatting is cosy. I don't see how it matters which technology is used, or how many other different ways you can connect to the same chat. The more the merrier I say. Using the approach both me and PulkoMandy linked to allows you to have the chat in a window on the site. And by using IRC you can even provide a link to the IRC URL that launches any locally installed IRC-client and joins the #CPCwiki channel. Multiple ways of entering the same chatroom. I only see advantages all over the place.

But I'll leave it at that now.

Being a Haiku developer myself, and contributing quite a lot to it, I'm surprised to learn that. Or do you mean the Skype port to it? 

Nah, I mean the Mac VMWare images which don't support native sound or modern screen resolutions. At least from the last VMWare image I got from the website about six weeks ago.

I have sound on one of my machines, and native screen resolution on the other. Do we say both work, or both are unsupported?
