Allow Gitter users to invite MXID's to a room
Now that we bridge private rooms to Matrix !2269 (merged) (#2785 (closed)), the private rooms and content are on Matrix but there is no way to access them.
As a first cut for access, we could allow Gitter users to invite MXID's to the room.
Considerations
-
A Matrix user won't appear in the Gitter people roster so you might not know someone is lurking who shouldn't be - #2688 tracks adding Matrix users to the people roster but we were thinking of just doing the simple approach and only adding people who recently chatted in the visible chunk of messages. This doesn't help the situation of not knowing about lurkers.
-
We can disallow inviting people to ONE_TO_ONE
rooms. Does it matter if a Gitter user invites their MXID to their GitterONE_TO_ONE
room (just need to think about bridging edge cases and any assumptions)?
