I keep seeing reports here of people being unable to
join the jabber chats.

Previous attempts by other groups I've been involved
with to use jabber have had those too, along with
people being unable to create jabber accounts.

(I've also not found a decent jabber client for OS X
that's stable and has the functionality I'd expect.
Suggestions welcome.)
