EMD in the post-ChatKit world?

I've had my eye on #173 since the day it was filed. When ChatKit was still alive, the idea as I understood it was to implement iChat's always-alive functionality with a backend daemon.

Now that ChatKit is dead, what is the viability for still implementing a standalone EMD and/or resolving #173?

Super Menu Duck is in a branch right now in an incomplete state. Once done that would do what you want.

We currently do not have any resources assigned to this task

No, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't. That would involve pulling Adium's connection code out into a separate app, which is beyond the scope of the SMD as I understood it.

No, smd can do it without it, it just wouldn't run while adium was quit. The ticket is for a standalone menu item and not for a standalone menu item that retains connectivity, or at least that's how I read it.
