Re: jabber.gnome.org's future

[Sriram Ramkrishna <sri ramkrishna me>]

I remember we have it, but I've never really seen instructions in how to log in or anything.  It should be part of the welcome packet when someone joins the foundation.

In general, I've been using IRC for my communication.  I tend not to use IM mostly because I always feel I'm bugging someone when I'm doing it.  IRC is non-intrusive and people can answer if they have time or inclination.

So with that in mind, what do people envision jabber to be used for here?  Just point to point communication and what's wrong with IRC especially now that Andrea has added freenode like services to irc.gnome.org (great work, andrea!)  Some of you might want to register your nick. :-)

Also, the password is tied to the Mango password, which is
some autogenerated nonsense I can never remember. Good thing
we have a keyring in GNOME, but it's a hassle when setting
up a new machine.

Jabber/XMPP lets you change your password using a client. Empathy does not
expose this option in its UI, but you can use Pidgin or Gajim on a one-off
basis to change the password.

And, yes, having an entry in GNOME Online Accounts for the GNOME
infrastructure sounds cool, but I wonder how many people would be using it.

I would definitely use it if I had known it existed. By the way, is there a way to have the Mango password emailed/reset? I can't find it in my mail history :-)
