Drupal

Question/Answer is a module for Drupal 6 that controls the e-mail components of our service. It allows you to send 'answers' to patrons (Drupal users) who have created questions (Drupal content of your choice).

Fastpath Connect is a module for Drupal 6 that submits chat requests to an OpenFire server with the FastPath plugin through a Drupal form.

Fastpath Widget is a module for Drupal 6 that themes the chat request form to look like the chat itself, giving a "widget" look similar to MeeboMe or libraryh3lp. Each 'widget' can is stored as CCK content and can be configured separately.
