Thread: jabber.postgresql.org
Hello,
I would like to setup jabber.postgresql.org so community members that
use IM can use it without having to use AIM or Yahoo etc...
Any interest in this? It would include MUC as well (multi user chat).
And yes, we will host it.

It would include MUC as well (multi user chat). Yes, that could be useful (and might help reduce the number of I'm accounts I seem to need to talk to everyone these days!) /D

That is kind of exactly the point. I have no desire to be on a public
jabber server (although there is nothing stopping us from sharing).

Quick question, but why not just encourage ppl to use ... Skype? I thought Skype had teh ability to do 'chat rooms' as well as person-to-person? ---- Marc G.

Just my preference.

There is a number that *could* be used.
1. Don't allow user discovery, so even if you register, someone would
have to invite you (or vice versa)
2. Don't allow public registration
3. Only allow registration based on mailing list membership
My initial thought was just that the more active members of the project
would use it. For example the web team, the fundraising team etc...
Hackers might want to use the muc portion to have closed room
conversation about patches or problems they are trying to overcome etc...

Well the most immediate being it is "yet" another client. 2. It is not open source 3. It is not a open specification The first one being my personal reason. Joshua D. Drake > > ---- > Marc G.

This was something that I brought up at the conference; however there was only 1 question: "What will be the policy for the people that will have jabber.postgresql.org account?" Will it be 10s? 100s? or 1000s?
