Zephyr

• Zephyr is an institutional/enterprise-scale distributed real-time messaging and notification system.
• Zephyr's design choices seem to imbue it with a specific culture.
• It is impossible to explain what Zephyr is, you must experience it for yourself.

Zephyr 3.1.2 has been released (sha512sum adfc68e93cc1fdc0b3f3c80d6b8c7af099aa4fb180a7e0438107eac90d33fc72537a506dbaa7f801320671581ee3247d91da77efc62bc8b4c85f5579f4893ea4). Zephyr 3.1.2 includes a variety of bugfixes and cleanups, API changes to support completely asynchronous clients, better/more persistent session key handling, and major local and interrealm operations enhancements. Thanks to Jeff Hutzelman, Chaskiel Grundman, David Benjamin, Alex Chernyakhovksy, Ray Link, Darrell Kindred, Geoffrey Thomas, and Carnegie Mellon University in general.

Authentication to this site at the moment is via the HTTP NegotiateAuth extension and GSSAPI. I do want to expand this to openid and passwords in the not-to-distant future, but this was the lowest-hanging fruit for the people I thought my initial audience would be.
