Because you're a WLUG'ger you might want to use the jabber.meta.net.nz server, kindly hosted by Cuchulain and Isomer. (If demand increases we might put a Jabber server up on the WlugServer).

!Create a Jabber account
Your Jabber ID (jid) is similar in concept to ICQ's UIN, or any other unique idenitifier. It will look like an email address, and will take the form [[whateveryouchoose]@your.jabber.server. Mine is plug@jabber.meta.net.nz.

When you have a Jabber account, you're on the Jabber network.
!Some terminology
-Your contact list is called a __roster__ in Jabber. To add other people to your roster, you __subscribe__ to their __presence__. Subscriptions can be both ways (you can see them and they can see you), or either way. Jabber offers a feature missing from most other IM clients, which lets you know when people have ''you'' on their roster. This appears as a subscription to you
, but
not from you
. (Please confirm this Perry!)
