Do you remember this mailing list? Can't I still use Japanese message in this mailing list? By the way, I think all new features which is tightly tied to usability should be discussed deeply by all monkeys (including both quiet and loud people, both ones who feel comfortable with current situation and ones who does not), and (at least) server admins should take care of those various opinions carefully. # I respect Tak-san's freedom on inid design as # the server programmer, but as a server admin # he has some responsibility for all monkeys including us. The multi-room feature testing in main.italk.ne.jp server is very annoying to me. In my opinion, Those features should be optional (i.e. it should be disabled by default), and the room key character (':') is conflicting with very-common notation of time (eg 8:00). # For non-Japanese people: # In Japanese it usually comes to the first word of the line. So, I strongly suggests following three features. 1. The default behavior should be changed to /ta (all chat displayed), from the time of first 10-line log replaying. Or, at least, 2. The room display switch should be changable BEFORE login process. 3. The key character should not be ":" nor "/". The sequence [0-9]: appears 140 times in the main server's log. The sequence [0-9]/ appears 280 times in the main server's log. (both from Jan. 1 to May 31.) My suggestion is to use '|' as a key. I hope those features implemented as soon as possible. Any opinions and suggestions welcome. -- Yutaka Oiwa Yonezawa Lab., Dept. of Computer Science, Graduate School of Information Sci. & Tech., Univ. of Tokyo.
