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.

Ticket for this feature can be followed here: https://mattermost.atlassian.net/browse/MM-10184

FreshForex offers both the MT4 and MT5 web-based terminals, suitable for anyone looking to trade quickly and easily, without the need for a software download. The platforms can be accessed straight from any internet browser and provide all the same features as the desktop platforms. The client member area is also available.

Generally, I am not that impressive a web user, but your sites are really great, keep it up! I'll go ahead and bookmark your website so I can return later on.

I'm trying Hybrid Chat but it doesn't want to connect with my mattermost server. The project looks a little abandoned :(
