Giving additional input when raising one's hand

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When there are many people in a conference, such as over a hundred, the 
raise hand feature could be enhanced to provide the moderator/presenter 
with more information.

For example:

  # When a user raises their hand, BigBlueButton could display a dialog box 
asking them for the question.

  # When BigBlueButton displays users in the Web module, it could move 
users who raised their hand to the top of the list.

  # When the presenter or moderator moves their mouse of the user's name 
who raised their hand, a tool-tip could occur that shows their question.

Dear Fred!

I would like to show something relation with this theme.

When someone rise up the hand, and you move the mouse cursor over this hand,
system will show date and time.
This is a very good feature because moderator can see the order of rising.
But unforunatly this date and time show the login time instead of rising of the 
hand.

What's your opinon about this?

Hi Scheer,

This is a good suggestion.  We've planning the 0.7 iteration and might be able 
to do 
some small features such as this (no promises!).

Good feedback though ... you can expect the raise hand feature to receive some 
enhancements in an upcoming iteration.

hello,

I'd rather see a small numerical suffix/icon on top of the risen hand that 
would directly show the order in which they were arisen. (moving them above the 
ones not waving is OK too).

This number would represent the queue of people willing to talk, and would need 
to be updated each time someone in the queue (usually the one with number 1) is 
given the speech.

This basic mechanism of "turn of speech" exists in tool flashmeeting.com and is 
of great help in managing the webconf.  Latter on you could couple it with a 
button for the current presentor: "I'm done talking", that would give the floor 
to next in queue (hand with suffix "1")

Thanks!
Berteh.

forgot to add a screeshot of mentionned display in flashmeeting... for 
illustration purpose. See how the hands indicate the order? the next in queue 
is noted below (2), and the "I'm done talking" button is (9), that gives the 
floor to the risen hand with 1 (Peter in this case)
