[OWW-Discuss] Chat

[Austin Che]

    I've installed a jabber server on openwetware for testing
    (openfire). Here's what you need to do:
    - log in to oww
    - go to your preferences and change your password (you can set new
    equal to old password) and save
    - now use any jabber client and connect to your oww username with
    spaces replaced by underscored and all lowercased at the domain
    openwetware.org, e.g. "austin_j._che at openwetware.org" with your
    password being your oww password
    - chat away
    
    For chat rooms, the service is called conference.openwetware.org
    so you can join arbitrary rooms like
    lounge at conference.openwetware.org
    
    I've installed some plugins also that should also allow you to
    talk with other services like AIM, Yahoo, etc.
