[Robotgroup] Robo-Chat..?

[Vern Graner]

It occurred to me that other than the mailing list and the meetings, we 
don't have a quick channel for com traffic between members.

It just so happens that I have a private chat server setup on one of my 
servers over at TxIS. It's running JABBER and I currently use if for 
chat with a few other members.

A free and easy to use multi-protocol chat client is available here:

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

I have successfully used it for one-to-one chats  as well as for setting 
up multi-user chat rooms for discussions. I would be happy to create 
accounts for others so that we could use it to keep in touch with other 
robo-members.

My chat server is setup to operate on Port 80 so as to not require 
anything special to allow it through firewalls and to also allow chat in 
places where chat may be blocked (some corporate firewalls do this).

So, let me know if you're interested and I can setup an account. :)
