The folks who run Pemberly chat have offered to give us their software. There are other choices. Do we need chat here and, if we do, what chat system would best server our purposes?

Private rooms might be nice, Terry. Something the Austen people might use in addition to the Drawing Room.

Also on chat, I want to work with Kaff to set up a system for events like the ball, trivia games and guest appearances. The author of the new Darcy book would be a good person to invite and practice on. I would like to set up something like what AOL does, where questions are fed to a sort of producer type person, almost like on a radio talk show, screened and fed to the guest or celebrity.

That seems possible Amy. I would just need to have the script send everything as a private message to the moderator - with the moderator and the guest being the only ones with permission to post a public message. It would take a little tinkering, but should be possible.

Should we have a chat system here on the Spring? If so, which one? What does your ideal chat system do? Have you seen ichat? http://www.ichat.com Or do you like the Pemberly chat room format best?
