[erlang-questions] NineNines Bullet

[Loïc Hoguin]

Rooms is a bit out of scope. I agree it could use some more 
documentation though.

The basic idea is that when your process connects its pid is added to a 
list somewhere (gproc, gen_server, anything else). When a message is 
sent to the room, all pids in the list receive it. You can also 
broadcast when someone enters or leave the room. And you remove the pid 
from the list when it's gone (using monitors for example).
