[Gllug] Gllug on IRC ?

[Xander D Harkness]

What about some open source messaging?

I am happy (as I am sure would many others) to set up a jabber server.

I like jabber because you do not have to rely upon a central host 
(witness MSN messaging going down for a week and losing data).  It works 
in a distributed manner using DNS very similar to mail (hence my jabber 
address is also xander at harkness.co.uk)

Cheers
Xander
