davidfowl/JabbR — Issue #310: Room announce / status
Author: DavidBurela

State: open

**Overview**
A way for the owner of the room to set the room's "Status" or "Message of the day".
In each room, at the top of the chat window will be a small space where the MOTD is displayed

**Command examples**
/announce "Progress is going well, we now have messaging support"
/announce "Discuss Git issues in here"
/announce "Ask your NuGet questions here"

**Benefit**
Currently for rooms that are supporting projects, it can be difficult to just jump into a room and see the current status of a project without scrolling up and re-reading 4 hours worth of logs.
The owner is able to just set a message saying what the progress is *"Basic framework locked down, contributers should grab tasks 1-10 from Trello board"*
