I think it would be nice to know how many people are in there (from the oustide that is).

I had looked into that when we switch to this chat room, but found that it wasn't as simple to get that value with this version. I'll check into again later.

Ah, I forgot about that. A server script like this may do the job, although I'm not sure about the best way to call it from the (perl?) scripts that generate the gameroom page:
userscount.php (for instance):
require ('config.php');
$usersfile = fopen ($usersdat, 'r');
flock ($usersfile, LOCK_SH); # shared (read-only) advisory lock
print count (@unserialize (fgets ($usersfile)));
fclose ($usersfile);
EDIT: if it's handled by client side javascript it's simpler to call it

Thanks Leo. That saved me a lot of time trying to figure out how to get the count.
