  And i can certainly vouch for the Danish one (jabber.dk) on which i use the 
MSN transport as well.
  However, having a KDE server for those in a country where there is no local 
server, or a reasonable one would to me at least seem a really good idea. It 
would also be a way of showing your alegiance to the KDE project (virus 
marketing is our friend, as has so often been established, just look at 
Firefox). So i'm very much for letting users sign up and get a users.kde.org 
jabber address, in addition to the options already present :) And especially 
the suggestion from Martin here, for using the local servers primarily, but 
with the added extra of giving an easy option to select to use the kde.org 
address. Anyway, enough rambling about this from me, carry on ;)
