Moderator hand-off between Moderator and applicant

[GoogleCodeExporter]

build 979

Is it necessary that when someone requests to become moderator, every user in 
the 
meeting/conference needs to approve it?  Wouldn't it be better if only the 
current Moderator has to 
approve it? 

With a group of any size it starts to slow things down to have everyone approve 
the moderation 
change, and it introduces more potential for the meeting to get hung up by 
someone leaving their 
UI unattended etc.

Strongly agree with this... present moderator system needs to be redesigned in 
my 
opinion

I think moderator should also have ability to grant permissions to selected 
participants.. ie. which user can user whitboard, or which user can be 
seen/heard in 
AV window.. this last feature will allow rooms to host meetings or events .ie. 
moderator chooses who can be seen/heard (in meeting scenario, perhaps 
everybody, but 
in event 1-8 users can bee seen/heard at a time..switched on/off by moderator.

I agree on the latter issue, adding audio support (controlled by moderator). 

I have a group that meets using the "event" mode and they use skype to be able 
to talk. 

Perhaps the way to restructure the moderation system (just for Events?) is to 
be able to specify (in the config 
for the meeting, or in some future scheduling system?) a "host" user who has 
extra privileges, (and is not just 
the first user to connect). This is the user who has controls to turn on-off 
audio and other features for the 
other users during the event.  The regular moderation exchange can continue to 
work as before (hopefully 
with the above improvements).

I would add that, in some blended e-Learning contexts, maybe a multiple 
moderator
scenario is useful.
For example, the professor could be moderator, and send video and audio, while a
second moderator, for example a tutor could ban users, moderates chat, changes 
the
powerpoint slides etc.

there are  multiple requests here.

first of all yes for the moment all participants need to agree. That could be 
changed
to moderator-only-agree.
But having two moderators is too complicated for many scenarios.
In Event-Modus there may be an *raise hand to speech* function in future.

I have to agree with Sebastian here .. the "moderator only agree" should be the
easiest  quick change to realize. 
Not having a "raise hand" function is really a shortcoming -- it should be 
realized
asap. But anyway it's a nice piece of SW. Keep up the good work.

i think that the "raise hand" function it's important in auditorium/elearning 
room.
