One of the things I dislike about CHIME is that as a plug-in it is only
available for some OSs and and not for others. This generates two classes
of people accessing your website. 

[1] Those that have access to your information.

[2] Those that don't!

Thus CHIME works well for a controlled teaching environment where you can
ensure that everyone has access to the required OS and plug-in. I wouldn't
agree that it is a good piece of software if your intention is to make the
information as widely available as possible.
