Here we are continuing in the tradition of me complaining about something but not fixing it. A Psi user wrote this in our forums:
I tried two different servers, jabber.freenet.de and im.flosoft.biz. I picked these two because they are in Germany. Btw. is there any preference in which server to pick anyway, except for the featureset?
And this:
Oh, and can someone point me in the right direction for an explanation of all the possible features I could use with Jabber. Like IPv6 or Pubsub and JUD. What they mean or what a possible use for them there is?
I have all these ideas about how to fix it so that people will have the answers to these types of questions and won’t have to ask them. If only I worked on Jabber for money, maybe I’d actually get something done. I think we need a more fluid jabber.org. The wiki is a good step, but it’s locked down and all offical-like with the council, board and member apps, so it’s not really a tool the community can use.
Why must a jabbercentral.org reside on a separate domain? What’s wrong with jabber.org? I think we should strive for unity and clarity. Yes, Jabber is a very distributed technology, like SMTP. But unlike SMTP, we are not yet the de facto standard for our niche. I think a strong centralized website with community tools such as forums and wikis would go a long way in softening the confusion a new user experiences. Hopefully the jabber software map will produce a nice database that we can leverage.
P.S. Somebody go help this user out, I’m tired. 
For the French community, we have done http://www.jabberfr.org. There is a forum, a wiki and a web interface for JUD. It is a work in progress but it is already an interesting website and I feel a nice community is gathering.
Some of the people who are working on the jabberfr.org website were working not so long ago on the Jabbercentral.org community website. However, the team was so tiny and there is so much work to do, it was quite hard to do actually something. I don’t know if the project is still active.
Maybe a multi-language, comprehensive but user-friendly web site is too ambitious a project for now. A good alternative may be to have local community websites for each country/language. There could be some links to these websites on jabber.org (there are links for now but somewhere lost in the wiki).
An other problem we are experiencing on jabberfr.org sometimes is that everybody does not have the same vision of how to promote Jabber. For example, some want a very user-friendly website and others want a full-featured website were everything is explained, it is not always compatible.
To have an official community website, I think we first need a very motivated team, a good project leader and most important, a very clear policy.
Strangely, the jabber australia website is one of the best when it comes to the user-experience: http://www.jabber.org.au/
