KDE Jabber Server

[Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett]

About the irc discussion on IRC (about the Jabber server), I want to expose 
some of my opinions.

* kde3.org

I think there is no reason to use a different domain for KDE developers.
Jabber is a bit broken in that aspect, it used to use MX records to point a 
Jabber server machine from a domain, so kde.org could add a 3rd party hosted 
Jabber server to kde.org MX records and we are set, but the spec is 
confusing, apparently Jabber now uses SRV record, and clients doesn't follow 
the protocol, so if you connect to kde.org they will try to connect to the 
kde.org machine instead of looking up MX records or SRV records.

(Daniel can you help us with this, you seem to understand very well the 
current spec and how clients support it)

* Open server?

I think KDE.org server should match kde.org email address. Open usage of that 
server would make kde.org domain full like hotmail. Matching would make 
inter/intra developers communication very simple and powerfull. In the 
future, very nice innovative services could use the Jabber server to help 
KDE's development process.

Having a different server for kde fans, is not a bad idea, and would show very 
well KDE's support for the Jabber IM network. Something like kdeusers.org, 
ilovekde.org ...

Feedback welcome
