I don't think this is such a big problem. Most people won't switch between clients. Most people won't particulary care about which protocol happens to be responsible for sending messages to there friends as long as it works. So, you probably don't have to explain how Jabber works, you just have to explain how to work a particular client. There will (and should) always be clients on different tech-levels, for example we are trying to make a client that is as easy to use as MSN for a new user. PSI/Gabber for example have functionality that we won't have (like support for different profiles and multiple accounts) that might make sense to more advanced users. > So IMO in these cases it would be nice if there was some 'Client UI > design best practices'-guide :D The fact that you are sending over Jabber shouldn't enforce anything on your UI. I think however that it's very important to have rules on how to behave with other clients (these are called specifications).
