"XMPP" is the new official name for "Jabber". It should suffice to explain the
term XMPP ID just once in saros and not in every single wizard/dialog.
It would be better and more consistent with UI guidelines to put an explanation
/ hint that a jabber id is an xmpp id, next to / below the inputs, e.g. near to
the example "[email protected]".
Using "XMPP/Jabber ID" as label/title is confusing to users who don't know
both, because they think they can provide either of those, not understanding
that it's actually the same thing, with just a different name.
Last but not least the visual styling of the wizards/dialogs would be more
harmonic only having labels without any "choices" to be made, separated by a
slash "/".
Heuristics:
"Don't make the user think".
And my personal creation: "Try to look good" :-\) > perceived usability is
important too.
