I commited a patch from Botty(sp?) in jabber which remembers the servers / login
info on use, of course its easy to add a default one in there

I think a testing server hosted by inkscape is a good idea, for now ive stopped testing
as its really annoying for everyone else to keep bringing down gristle muc

Currently there are 2 main problem for testing,

muc wont work on pretty much any server ive tested aside gristle, the verification code
in there is a bit of a hack because seemingly old muc servers didnt provide the rosters
correctly, hopefully ill get this fixed by tomorrow

Authentication with jabber.org is problematic, loudmouth initialise a stream with the host string
including the resource (/Inkboard) in the name, most servers ignore it, jabber.org doesnt (the
spec suggests that jabber.org is right to), however, leaving out the resource means poeple
logged in to the same account on both their chat client of choice, and inkboard. get their inkboard
messages recieved by their chat client as a pm, which is no good.

Ill send of an email to the loudmouth list to hopefully get a fix for that
