You confuse matters here: It is *not* easier to setup decentralized XMPP servers - I believe your current MUC runs on a single host which is *less* decentralized than the "bad" irc. True, offline-buffering can be offered server-side for XMPP and not for irc - which brings a slight benefit, but with that big loss of needing the community to shift over. > Most of the discussions are mentoring newbies and those are already > documented.
