[jabberd] Moderated chat...

[Bret Mogilefsky]

Hi,

I don't think this needs a JEP... MUC suffices.

You do this by establishing conventions for the chat up front, eg 
"Observers are to ask questions of the moderator via a private message", 
whereupon the moderator either asks the question for them (Moderator: 
Observer dfellous asks: "what about clustering?"), or grants them voice 
long enough to ask their question (Moderator: dfellous, ask your question).

Similarly, if an Observer simply "wants the mike", he can privately 
message the moderator asking to be made participant for a bit.  It's all 
conventions, and the many variants are all well-supported by what's in 
mu-conference... I can't see codifying them all individually and making 
everyone happy.  Better instead to just put them in the subject line for 
the room, or post them periodically, much as people do with IRC.

My two cents anyway...

Bret

PS: OTOH, a "MOTD" sent to room entrants might be a nice thing, if it 
doesn't already exist in MUC (can't recall offhand)
