    I would encourage you to rethink you're assumptions a little bit
    here.  If everyone is hanging out in one room just talking,
    maybe it's because they're perfectly happy hanging out in one
    room talking.  In short, if your users don't see this as a problem
    that they've been complaining to you about, why do *you* see
    it as a problem?
