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? :)
