Please `add` to this list and where you can.
`open` a `new` issue with more detail and _link_ to the feature-issue.

> ¹The _repo_ is called "**Chat**" because messaging is the _primary_ functionality.
But Where other Instant Messaging platforms are a source of disruption/distraction ours will hook into https://github.com/dwyl/time and _protect_ people when they are doing _focussed_ work!
