I've finally made a start on the interface for chat rooms within RTB Connect. It's a hefty task which basically requires the replication of everything I've done so far with the friends list. It's a pretty badly thought out code design since I never considered chat rooms when I initially just build the friends list so I will be re-factoring it at some point for my own sake - but that won't delay any release.
I may have a new alpha for the alpha testers either this weekend or the next, and if they give the go-ahead I'll promote it to beta and get 100 of you guys to try it out.
