Implement a Site Chat feature

Site-Chat: Add features that enable mattermost to be used by webmasters/developers to power live chat conversations in floating windows on their web sites.
This would significantly increase proliferation and adoption of Mattermost.
Ask any adopters to link back to Mattermost via a small logo/link.
Features needed would be:
1) Automate creation of a new user in Mattermost via APIs (or support SSO, as the users would already be authenticated on the 3rd party site)
2) Create a renderer to bring up the Private Message channel in Mattermost between the 2 or more users that the 3rd party site chooses, probably triggered by a user or site action e.g. a JS function on the web page of each user to join a chat given a unique session code/name. The chat should be displayed on web page in an iframe only when the chat creation is triggered.
3) Since you'd use the default Private Message channel it would be only the two or more users who communicate
4) Any chat user should be able to close his chat window and re-open it, as long as the chat session is still open.
5) Should be able to CLOSE the chat session at which point the chat is terminated, cannot be re-used, however its contents can still be viewed
6) Chat should be archived and be retrievable by the system to display on a web page to a user and to send by email to the users.
You could change the email notification logic to send a link back to the archive after the conversation.
