That's not the problem, the main problem is to prevent anyone from
deleting others on the ILS.

I don't think the server would support the load if it had to ping all
users to see if they are alive or not.

Yes, that's a known bug on which Paul is working.

I'm not sure I understand this.

We need a system to do that, indeed. That is also being worked on.
However you have to understand something :
1) I'm working on gnomemeeting in my spare time and I'm not paid for it
2) I concentrate my efforts on gnomemeeting itself

So please don't be "overdemanding" because I can not manage everything.
If you want to enhance the ILS server, I can send you the code.
