#5 Show status changes in chat window and in chat log

[Daniel Howard]

When a user changes from "I'm available" to "I'm busy", it is subtle that the green dot next to his name changes to yellow. It might be better to also show a message in the chat window to make it obvious to other users who might be waiting for the user to say/do something.

Writing the status change to the chat log makes sense, too, since log readers don't have any idea how long things take ... except by seeing other users reactions.
