Re: Missing "Go to Chat..." option

AOL and Yahoo have 2 different types of group chat rooms.  The first is 
an Invited Group Chat, where you invite people to the room.  The second 
are their Community Chat Rooms which show up in a directory listing of 
room names and allow you to enter them without invitation.

Fire fully supports the Invited Group Chats, but does not yet support 
the Community Chat Rooms,which is accessed in AIM and iChat via the "Go 
To Chat" menu option.

We have discussed adding support for these, and I am working on an 
infrastructure change within fire to support these.  However, I am not 
sure if we will have these supported in 2.0, but we are aware of the 
deficiency and intend upon providing a fix.
