The Lobby section is the section where all users (panelor audience) enter. The application monitors the Lobby, which is where all usersenter, and moves them into either the Stage section or one of the Audiencesections. The Stage section is a special Sametime section where all the panelmembers reside. There are four audience sections, one for each country that wepredefined in the RedPanelDiscussionConstants Java class. The four countrieswe predefined were America, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany.(These sections were chosen because the translation engine was capable oftranslating between these three languages.) The final section is the Queuesection, which is where audience members line up to ask questions. The customactivity is a Sametime activity that translates messages into different languagesand sends the translated messages to the appropriate sections. In addition, itmonitors the Lobby for new users entering the Place, and monitors the Queue forthe next person to ask a question.186 Lotus Instant Messaging/Web Conferencing (Sametime): Building Sametime-Enabled Applications
