Updating thread name for clarity

Hi Tim - sorry for the delayed response. There is currently no way to edit Space or Room names, so yes, the solution is to clone the Space or Room. I'm merging your request into the existing thread for renaming.

Great to see this as planned! After the major UI overhaul, this is a much needed feature.

From a technical perspective, I understand this is challenging to build. We get a unique URL using our namespace. Similar to a twitter or instagram handle. If we could separate the unique URL and the actual name of the space, it seems it would be fine. i.e. gather.town/xyzidslug/room1234 = [My Coworking Space Name] .

Being able to change my space name from "Coworking" to "Virtual Coworking" would be super useful for us as a user as I would not have to create a new space and re-invite everyone just because i messed up the naming in the beginning. We also rebranded our community recently and had to create a brand new space and start re-inviting people just for that.

I would be happy to give up the nice branded url namespace in order to manage this naming. In the future, it seems the team at Gather could use this separation as a paid function for having custom gather.town/@myspacename urls which could just then redirect or connect to the space whose url ID is gather.town/xyzidslug/room1234

Cheers!
