Re: jabber room
It might be a good idea to explain a little to everyone what a Jabber conference room is... maybe with a "How do I Connect".
If this channel gets enough regular members, it would be worth adding it to the OOoWiki somewhere, and maybe asking on the dev@website if a link to the Jabber room and info about how to connect to it can be added to the OOo website.

Re: jabber room
Very simple:
1. using a client application such as gaim (sorry, pidgin, an even worse name, but I digress)
a) crtl+c to open a dialogue window to join a room
b) type the name of the room (in this case, openoffice)
c) check that the server name is conference at jabber full stop org and amend if necessary to this address.
d) join!
2. Using a web service such as koolim (http://www.koolim.com) or meebo
follow the instructions of the web service provider.

Re: jabber room
Just to clarify, does Pidgin install the Jabber IM protocol by default?
Like a lot of people, I use Pidgin purely to combine Yahoo, MSN, and GMail IM in one interface, and never use Jabber itself. I'm not likely to visit, but others may need to know this in order to.

Re: jabber room
GTalk is a Jabber protocol... so if you can use GTalk, you have Jabber support. I believe that Jabber(GTalk) support is included in the precompiled Pidgin binaries (as well as the source) for most Linux distributions and for the Windows version.
(I have to add Jabber/GTalk support separately for Pidgin on the Nokia N800)

Re: jabber room
I think it depends on the accounts that you create; e.g if you create a jabber account, this client would use that to connect. I guess that you need a jabber account to connect to a jabber room.
The objective is only quicker communication (rather than having to refresh web pages like now, for instance). Of course, it is possible to export the logs onto the forum for future reference, when discussion may be deemed useful for others...

Re: jabber room
I forgot that, most people don't even know that gtalk uses jabber protocol.

Re: jabber room
If you have a GTalk account, that is enough. I am in the room right now and do not have a specific Jabber.org account. I just used my GTalk account to connect. Worked fine.rene wrote:I guess that you need a jabber account to connect to a jabber room.

Re: jabber room
Not that it matters, but I just don't get chats.
What is the advantage of this as a channel for OOo support?
The feature I think would help hugely: a way to share a real-time screen view. I'll stop short of saying remote connections because that would just be too risky through a public forum, but some way that people could see their answer--as if they were watching someone else perform the particular operation they're asking about.
You ask a question (forum or chat), someone says "here, I'll show you", you get a remote desktop view, with a chat or audio, and you see how it's done.
I guess bandwidth would be a big issue, but it wouldn't have to be 24fps to be useful.
