When a room has no explicit name or canonical alias, we name it after the members of the room ("Alice and Bob", "Alice and 3 others", etc).

We would like this name to be stable and consistent across clients. We need an algorithm to pick the right users.

Naming the room after the first user(s) to be invited is attractive, but

  • we don't have that information in the data model currently
  • it's not well-defined in the case of a branched event graph.
