I'll added the same proviso that I add during the call. I've only seen
it demonstrated over powerpoint. I have not played with it. The Online
Librarian Project involves 2 Australian universities on opposite sides
of the country (and therefore 3 hour differences in timezones) can
extend their helpdesk functions over a greater period. One of the
features that they wanted was the anonymization of the student to the
helpdesk staff. Ie the HD staff only sees that they are talking to a
student from a particular uni. The powerpoint presentation did not
actually show anyone logging in.

However I think that any interaction between shibboleth and XMPP is
better than none and a much netter place to start from.
