I'd like to extend this module to handle multiple chat rooms. Each chat room should exist on its own URL and be isolated from other chatrooms. Ideally users could create as many chatrooms as they need - obviously the rooms need to be created in the parachat admin first.

I'm thinking of implementing this using a chatroom content type that includes a field for the chatroom name. A themeable function could then be used to display this field using the existing parachat-applet.tpl.php template passing in the room name.

Any thoughts on this as an implementation?

'boxfresh',

I'd like to see this implemented, as I have plans which would require multiple rooms in the not too distant future.

GO FOR IT!

I think it's a great idea. The architecture you described would work just fine.
