add option - moderator role for all

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Just a request.

I want an option (or default) setting for all members to be a moderator at
the same time.

Now, we must switch the role of a moderator with each other whenever
someone want to draw a line, share a screen, drop an uploaded file to the
whiteboard, etc.
It takes time.

All members want to use the whiteboard simultaneously,indeed.
It seems to not be a special situation.

What do you think of that?

there might be a lot of traffic in this case.
One ting is quite sure:
The moderating system makes the hole Conference hard to handle, espacially for
first-time-users, and without any help-assistant

On the other hand:
Syncing of multiple users produces a lot of interaction, remotecalls. And it 
also
makes it quite confusing cause if two people are on the whiteboard drawing 
nobody can
remember who has done what.
The other reason is a rather technical one, cause every object on the whiteboard
needs a name and identifier. The name is reused between each client. I think i 
would
have to rework the whiteboard to make it possible to draw _simultanious_ on the
whiteboard.
And for the _event_ modus where you got up to 100 participents its not that 
useable,
cause you cannot handle 100 users drawing simultaniously.
The other Issue is a rather logic/depends on the situation where you use 
OpenMeetings:
For exmple in ELearning you will have a teacher and pupils in theory. Teachers 
would
like to have control about the whiteboard, otherwise pupils draw on it and the 
even
could not say who did that :) (a dream for every pupil)

what could be done:
- one (or several) tools which can be used alltogether without beeing 
moderator, for
example a laserpointer
=> here is the question: How to make an interface for that, cause its quite 
hard to
find a good intuitive way to show in an Interface that one toolbox is always
availible and another only by mod 
- improve current moderating system by adding more information who is in the
moderating role
- add configuration controls to conference rooms in general sothat you can 
configure
a room to have *moderating-only* modus or *everybody-moderator* modus or 
something in
between like a *semi-moderated-room*

+ it might be possible to use SharedObject instead of rtmp-calls cause 
SharedObject
do not produce any response, they are faster.
But i did not use them yet as i wanted to use only one kind of remoteing.

We have now an additional Modus where the *super* moderator can grant other 
users
access to the Whiteboard
