Description Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2007-07-20 15:38:52 EDT 
When you're using the UI IRC client... you can't easily find the number of users in a channel. IRC clients have varied ways of displaying this information. Some do it in the title bar, some do it in the status bar, some do it in some control representing the channel... in any event, we should do this somehow.

We could add a method like this to IChatRoomContainer:

IUser [] getCurrentParticipants();

Another (perhaps better) design would be to have a new interface to represent a chat room member:

interface IChatRoomParticipant

IUser getUser();
IPresence getPresence();

And then have a method in IChatRoomContainer:

IChatRoomParticipant [] getCurrentParticipants();

Since this is API enhancement, I've set target milestone to 1.1.
