Chat system and its usage

Yeah, the PHP code is for reference, not for integration. The SQL, on the other hand, we might be able to use wholesale or nearly so, depending on what you find when you get in there.

Thanks for volunteering. I think this exploration will help us make decisions about how we do chat, what we can reuse vs have to do ourselves, and how much work it’ll be.

Edit: I’ve now seen in Discord that some think this isn’t actually a useful thing to do. If that’s so, then I’m fine with that. I saw an opportunity and thought it could reduce our workload significantly. I now see that this isn’t necessarily the case. I withdraw the suggestion/request.

When we get to chat I still think we should look to their SQL for inspiration. I hear the feedback that the C# business logic would be different enough, and not that hard, that the PHP code doesn’t help.
