Hi everyone,<br><br>Well, upon further testing, the chat room doesn't seem to be working anyway. Maybe <a href="http://conference.jabber.org">conference.jabber.org</a> doesn't support users from other servers. Perhaps it would be easier to switch to IRC like Fiji. Anyone have a preference?<br>

Hi everyone,<br><br>I thought it would be useful to have an ImageJ developers chat room. I have seen it work well for the Fiji and OME teams, as it helps keep geographically distributed people in touch, and allows technical chatter without the immediate interruption of other forms of communication.<br>
<br>One question is: what is the best software to use to host such a room? The Fiji team uses IRC (<a href="http://freenode.net" target="_blank">freenode.net</a>), whereas the OME team has their own Jabber server. For the time being, I created a persistent chat room on <a href="http://conference.jabber.org" target="_blank">conference.jabber.org</a> called imagejdev with password loci, which you are welcome to join.<br>
<br>You will need a client capable of joining password-protected Jabber chat rooms (unfortunately, it appears that iChat and the GTalk client do not support it—please correct me if I am wrong). I use Adium on Mac OS X, and Pidgin will almost certainly work on Win/Linux.<br>
<br>For Jabber accounts, it should work to use either a Google account (GTalk), or for UW-Madison folks your <a href="http://wisc.edu" target="_blank">wisc.edu</a> address (WiscChat—see <a href="http://www.doit.wisc.edu/wiscchat/" target="_blank">http://www.doit.wisc.edu/wiscchat/</a>).<br>
