I have a client that is looking for a simple IM solution for dispatching
"crews" to a job site.  The basic scenario is this:  

Boss has an IM client with 5 groups of 20 employees each.  Each
employee marks their status when they come to work (i.e. Ready to work).
The boss needs to know when he has 5-6 employees in a group that have
the "Ready to Work" status.

I am looking for a way to have the group name change color (or simalar)
as the number of employees grows closer to the desired number of
employees that are "Ready to Work" in each group.  

For example:
0 employees "Ready to Work" = grey 
1 employee = yellow
2 employees = orange
etc...

Is there a client that supports this type of notify?  I was thinking of
possibly writing a script that looked at the status of each employee and
generated a color scheme for each group.  Any other suggestions?
