Hello,

quite a while ago while googling around, I stumbled across a log of a=20
conversation of (seemingly) people close to the Jabber project, I believe i=
t=20
was a council meeting. They were talking about ways to promote Jabber, one =
of=20
it was to sponsor a Jabber server for the KDE project.

I've been thinking about this over and over again and Jabber sponsored or n=
ot,=20
I think a Jabber server for the KDE project would be a fantastic addition,=
=20
especially if this would be made in such a way that everybody's @kde.org ma=
il=20
addresses would match their Jabber IDs.

Jabber can be used for instant messaging, news broadcasting (headline ticke=
r=20
etc., so you could get your dot.kde.org headlines in time to your IM=20
program!), file transfer and many more things. It believe it would not only=
=20
improve communication between developers but also between users and=20
developers.

My thought right now is to restrict the Jabber server to those having CVS=20
write access, be it translators, developers and so on.

I don't know what kind of infrastructure is behind sysadmin@kde.org, so I=20
don't know who should run the server or how it should be run. I'm quite sur=
e=20
that if we'd ask, the Jabber folks themselves would host a server for us or=
=20
community members would be able to sponsor equipment and service. (Bart and=
=20
Ian in #kopete were eager to help out)

I'm not sure if this was the right list to post to, I originally created a=
=20
blog entry at kdedevelopers (http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/180), b=
ut=20
I felt that a discussion on a mailing list might be more appropriate.

Till
