[Opensim-dev] I been looking at a issue we have with group chat

[Justin Clark-Casey]

There are inefficiencies with sending out IMs to groups.

It should be possible to hook in a mod, though I don't know if any are publicly available and that code might be tangled 
in with other kinds of IM (I don't know how).  However, it would be much easier to contribute patches to the existing 
code since then they would be maintained by the OpenSimulator project rather than have to be separately fixed.
