We like to group chat to plan events, but need to save the chats for members who can't make the meetings. We would like to do this on this site, but must do it in Skype so we can save. Any possibility of this function be added in the near future?

This functionality request has been passed along for future development consideration. I can't give you a timeline on this, however, I will tell you that we are going to assign it to a programmer for early 2011.
