-!!How to Join the JabberInstantMessaging revolution (and leave multiple IM clients behind)
-
-Jabber, as well as being an instant messaging network all of its own, works differently from other multi-IM clients. Instead of the client natively supporting
[ICQ
], [MSN] etc, it is all supported on a Jabber server.
-
-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).
-
-!Get a Jabber client
-
-This tutorial will assume you're using [Gaim] on Linux. There's a hundred other clients listed on the JabberInstantMessaging page.
-
-!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 from them, not to them.
-
-You can now add people to your roster based on their Jabber ID, or you can search for people in the Jabber Users' Directory (jud).
-
-!Setting up transports
-
-Chances are you have an ICQ or MSN account and a lot of people you'd like to keep in touch with, while you get them all converted to also using Jabber. Servers can run transports, which are server-side conversions between Jabber's XML and the native tongue of other [IM] systems.
-
-For example, you can add the JIT Transport (Jabber ICQ transport) at jit.jabber.meta.net.nz. Fill in your ICQ account details, and it will automatically pull down your server-stored ICQ contact list and add them to your Jabber roster. They get given JIDs of [[uin]@jit.jabber.meta.net.nz, and can be addressed as such.
-
-Add as many transports as you want, and have a play around
