Personally I have the sound and notifications off and don't mind the chatting at all, but that also means I ignore the chat while working. I think chatting for introduction and about goals, expectations is crucial and should be limited only if it becomes about non-productive-related stuff.
Perhaps a second room with more or less chat (or other guidelines) will be good if more people join in, but now I think focus should be more on coming up with correct guidelines.
What do you think of "International Study Hall" as a name for this?
Having spent the day on there, I think that is a decent descriptor for setting expectations and I like the ring :)
Not "Common Room"? Ravenclaw or otherwise?
Too obvious? :)
Ooh, I do like that too :)
Actually, how about "24 Hour International Study Hall?" Its way less prestigious sounding, but a better descriptor and more likely to catch people's attention.
I like simplicity and would prefer something shorter (it does sound representitive though), but wouldn't really care about the name as long as the system is working and has (my preference) people from less wrong working there.
