mockups's Issues

Suggestions around chat interface

@mairin

First of all, thanks for the awesome work with the mockups! They look awesome 👍

I had a few points to share regarding the chat interface:

• How do we show room admins/moderators? As a participant in a room, I need to know whom can I ping for help, and the room admins/moderators are the first choice for that. The usual approach in other IRC clients is to show the room ops/moderators first, and then list the remaining users.
• What do we show activity logs? By activity logs, I mean user join/part messages, channel messages to user, etc. They are mostly noise and does not contain much meaningful data.
