i think we are talking about group IM, not chat. chat is region local
and not tied to any group/ACL. IM is grid wide, should be tied to ACLs,
and should in general be routed wherever the group members are. <br>

Please show me where the rough idea that was discussed has descended
even to the depth that would be required to mention implementation
details like security?
As everything in OpenSim, this concept tries to address a real need
in a way that allows most options. No one said that region operators
should not be able to confine chat to their regions, or choose to
not allow nonlocal groups to be used on the grid. Ultimately, it is
all under control of each region.
There are two very valid concerns to be addressed:
- group communication should be extensible across grid boundaries,
if desired by both grid operators
- groups should be usable as permission vessels within a grid
Since you -1'd it, I suppose you can present a concept that
addresses those in a manner acceptable to you?
