Why not call it MSN or QQ? (just kidding..). Combiend efforts are already in place in local communities.

Communties that have a wiki (that works): http://www.jabber.cz/ http://www.jabberfr.org/ Please, pleeeeaaaase, take a look! ;-) > Peter talks about "A clean and simple website with minimal text that > will help end users get started with Jabber".

I disagree, having exeprienced it many times in many places, every potential contributor already knows and contributes at least a bit to Wikipedia (and its syntax), thus a Medawiki-based place is an excellent way to go. It works. Period. Unless you don't seed work and let it die. My seed is here: a small cleaning and features. Please help.
