-!!! Introduction
-
-Like most things proprietary, OpenSource people have written their own InstantMessenger, called
[Jabber
]. [Jabber] is built on a robust model, similar to [SMTP] and [HTTP] - and completely unlike [IRC]'s unscalable mess :) It is based on a core [XML] router with small plugin modules handling all the various parts of the [InstantMessaging|InstantMessenger]. It supports "Transports" which allow a Jabber user to talk to users of other InstantMessenger networks such as [AIM], [MSN], [ICQ], YahooMessenger, [SMTP], [IRC], [IMAP] and many others. It has clients for MicrosoftWindows, [Linux], various [PDA]'s and other machines/devices.

-You may want a nice simple introduction to SettingUpJabber. PerryLorier has also written a JabberWiki.

-** [Gabber] for [GNOME] (uses [GTK])
-** [Gaim], a multiprotocol [GTK2] [InstantMessenger] which has a [Jabber] plugin
-** [Gnome Jabber | http://gnome-jabber.sf.net/], a newcomer which is full of [GTK2] goodness. (The web page says that the author has stopped development of this and is working with the Gossip authors.)
-** [Gabber2 | http://gabber.jabberstudio.org/], the [GTK2] port of [Gabber]. Still in development.
-** [Gossip | http://gossip.imendio.org/], another [GTK2] Jabber client
-; %%% [Qt]/[KDE] :
-** [Psi | http://psi.affinix.com/], the canonical [Qt] client
-** [Kopete | http://kopete.kde.org/], [KDE]'s main multiprotocol IM client.
-** [Konverse | http://konverse.sf.net] for [KDE]. Webpage was last updated in 2001.
-; %%% Console :
-** [imcom | http://imcom.floobin.cx/] for console (requires [Python])
-** [jabmsg | http://sf.net/projects/jabmsg/] batch-mode Jabber message sender (requires [Perl])
-** [CenterIcq], a multiprotocol [Curses] [InstantMessenger] which has a [Jabber] plugin
-; %%% MicrosoftWindows :
-** [Exodus | http://exodus.jabberstudio.org/] for MicrosoftWindows
-** Jabber.com's client for MicrosoftWindows. (Current version seems to only let you connect to Jabber.com's server)
-** [JAJC | http://jajc.ksn.ru/] for MicrosoftWindows
-** [Rhymbox | http://www.rhymbox.com/], [MSN] Messenger for Jabber. Looks *really* nice in Windows XP
-; %%% Others :
-** [Tkabber | http://tkabber.jabber.ru/], written in [TCL]/[Tk] (requires a couple of extra [TCL] libraries) so this should run on any OperatingSystem that [TCL]/Tk runs on. It's UserInterface sucks, but it's very feature complete.
-** [Nitro | http://nitro.jabberstudio.org/] for [MacOSX]

-!!! Client notes
-
-!! Multiple logins on the same account
-
-This is what the "resource" is. So you could log in from different machines, and give each a different resource name. If a message is sent to just your account (without specifying a resource) then it goes to whichever of your clients has the highest "priority" (which you can set at log in time).
-
-!! Offline messages
-
-If you are not online when a message is sent to you, your [Jabber] server will hold it for you until you next connect.
-
-!! Tkabber: conference actions
-
-Click on the __Subject:__ to get a list of actions.
-
-!! Using Transports
-
-Transports provide a gateway to other communication services such as multiuser conferencing, [ICQ], [AIM], Yahoo, [MSN], [IRC], or even [SMTP] (ie [Email]). Your [Jabber] server will have a list of transports you can use, normally with descriptive names like __icq.jabber.org__ so they are easy to guess.
-
-!! Transport options for [ICQ]
-
-__Note__: the [DNS] names below are fictional, make sure you check what your [Jabber] server uses.
-
-[ICQ] and [AIM] actually use the same protocol, so the AIM-t transport can be used for [ICQ] as well. However, the JIT transport handles [ICQ] messaging and ICQ-SMS a lot better than the AIM-t transport.
-
-If your [Jabber] server uses the AIM-t transport, you should subscribe to the icq.jabber.example.net agent, using your ICQ username and password, and then you can add contacts of the form icqid@icq.jabber.example.net. You can send [SMS] messages by sending something like the following to any [ICQ] recipient on your roster: __SEND-SMS:+cellphonenumber:<message>__
-
-If your [Jabber] server uses the JIT transport, then use that instead. Its a lot nicer, supports user searching correctly, handles [SMS] better, so on. You can add contacts of the form icqid@jit.jabber.example.net for [ICQ], or phonenumber@sms.jabber.example.net for [SMS].

-!!! Running a Jabber Server
-
-!! [Debian]: newly registered users get a 401 error on log in attempt
-
-The __mod_auth_plain__ module is commented out in the package sample configuration, presumably to prod users to use secure authentication methods. Unfortunately, creating new users requires __mod_auth_plain__. Uncomment this module and registration will work
