I stumbled over lluna.de but quickly dismissed it because it seemed to need web server setup. As Eric (Jeti) pointed out some days ago, I was mistaken, the setup is optional.

It's very simple: the client calculates the MD5 of the URL (which will be the room name), queries a remote API to find the server hosting the room for that URL, then joins the room. Enabling any Jabber client that already does MUC would be a matter of minutes, I think. If anyone is interested, just ask. As soon as I'm a little less busy with coding I'll try to write some docs, but it's better if I have an idea of what docs people want me to write. :-) Massimiliano
