 ☐ direct messages
 ☐ privileged web interface for introspecting the chat and influencing behaviour (like throttle times)

short-medium term:
 ☐ IRC gateway
 ☐ polling through the chat

medium term:
 ☐ messaging a group of users, like everybody with a given flair - this transposes “multiple” channels onto a single one, could work fine
 ☐ multiple channels (and the ui for it) if we still want it after the messaging a group of users thing
 ☐ google moderator like functionality where the chat goes into a voting mode where you post your question and others vote it up to be asked, no idea how this should work
 ☐ make sure links are safe by using the Goole Safe Browsing api https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/lookup_guide#Overview

I dont even know term:
 ☐ friend system? wtf? what does that even mean
 ☐ xmpp backend
 ☐ anciliary info for users
 ☐ reputation system? need to work out the specifics
