All posts in the topic Chat and Presence (Short link)

I am concerned that our Chat feature is hard to use because, unlike everything
else in GroupServer, it is synchronous. At the same time, this is an asset, as
there is an increasing trend towards immediacy on the web. I have two
suggestions.

1: An "invite" feature on the Chat interface, that allows a user to invite one
or more group members into a chat, using email notifications generated from the
server. The invite feature should also suggest or support generating a post to
a "Scheduled Chat" topic in the group in the case of inviting everyone to a
scheduled chat.

2: Actually Michael's idea. The site should show a list of all users in your
groups who are currently in chat.

Would a web feed of #2 be useful? Opt-in email notification when anyone in a
selected group enters chat?
