I personally think that having kde.org as a closed server to those with kde.org
accounts, and then users.kde.org, or kdeusers.org, or such, as an open server,
would be very good.

Let's face it, email is far more important than Jabber. Way more prominent, gets
archived in Google. Why don't we then give kde.org Jabber addresses to
complement the email addresses?
