Make Orbit usable for a small team

[haadcode]

We're close to be able to start dogfooding Orbit with a small team. This issue is to track the goals and tasks we need to be able to do that.

• Encryption
• Make sure that messages are cached in the network (cacher bots)
• Release builds for easy installation
• Namespaced channels, eg. "/ipfs/fun-and-random"
• Access control for channels

I'm thinking that using bots from the outside (meaning not built in into Orbit) might not be the best idea. I would love a solution where we can make Orbit to be good (including caching of messages) without having to run bots somewhere as well.

One solution could be to have users in the same room, helps pin each others messages by default (which could be turned off in settings)

This happens at the moment, automatically because IPFS.

I'm not aware of a solution that can make this easy without bots. Orbit can run without bots, it's more that the bots (cachers or otherwise) enhance the network.
