I'm using gabber personally, since it was the only client claiming to support GPG encryption that actually supported it (with one glitch that it doesn't work with gpg > 1.0.6, because it uses an ugly hack to communicate with the gpg "server"). Anyhow, whatever the client might be it might really be a good thing to have our @debian.org identity be reachable through jabber. And the argument about "waste of time" someone mentioned in this thread doesn't hold, IMHO, as one wastes as much time as they want and it doesn't matter whether they use IRC, MSN, AIM, jabber or their mobile phone - it's theirs to decide... marek
