+ | We now have a chat server. | ||
+ | Jabber. It can do chat rooms (group chats), messaging (IM) and can | ||
+ | reach and be reached by other XMPP servers around the world (like | ||
+ | google talk). | ||
+ | decentralized. | ||
+ | so it saves electricity and network traffic. It's greener and more | ||
+ | secure! Messages to other cs.vassar.edu users go from the user to our | ||
+ | server to the other user. | ||

+ | to connect, please let me know so I can add your client to this list. | ||

+ | USER does not have to be the same as your email name, but please don't | ||
+ | pick something that is someone else's email address. | ||
