At work, we’ve been using Campfire, the wonderful web-based group chat application from 37signals for a while now, and have found it essential in our virtual environment.
I recently discovered
Marshmallow,
the unofficial Campfire API, and setup deploy notifications, and couple

I also added a new topic
method to set the current room’s topic - we
use it to match Basecamp project numbers and put the project URL in the
topic.
The SVN server for Marshmallow seems to be down, and I can’t seem to get in touch with court3nay, so I figured I’d just let this loose. Without further ado, here’s Marshmallow 0.3.
