I've been searching through that thing endlessly for almost 5 hours >_> it doesn't help much for that.. I can grep the code to look for usage though which is what I did here ^-^

The idea is that people are using chat/client that has chat history and sends notifications so that people can respond quickly or when they are available worst case sending an email..
