 +====== Using our xmpp server  ======
 +This page is only now being written, 'till then, here is the email I sent out last spring:
 +<file>
 +We now have a chat server.  It uses the open protocol XMPP aka
 +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).  The big advantage over AIM is that XMPP is
 +decentralized.  Your messages only go as far as the servers involved,
 +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.
 +
 +So why all the confusion? Well...
 +
 +There is a lot of variation in the way differing IM clients are set
 +up. If you are using a client I have not listed and you figure out how
 +to connect, please let me know so I can add your client to this list.
 +
 +Now if the clients would only standardize on a naming convention...
 +
 +Setup for Ayttm, Emacs, Pidgin and Psi IM clients:
 +
 +
 +The address USER@cs.vassar.edu is the part you give out to others.
 +
 +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.
 +
 +(remember to replace "USER" with what you want for your username!)
