Jabber: instant messaging

Jabber is a faster communication system for people connected to the Internet. It's very similar both to chat and instant messaging (like MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo IM, and so on), but is't actually much more flexible.

Furthermore Jabber natively supports SSL connections and in some cases it can be configured to manage communication through cryptographic keys administered directly by users (GPG or OTR for example). We suggest Gaim as a client for this kind of usage (see below for more info).

Starting from January 2006, every user of our servers has automatically a jabber account with the same username user@domain.org
