Infra ran a Jabber server for developers from at least 2004 (maybe |
| 6 |
earlier, I wasn't heavily involved then) until mid 2008. |

Usage was very low (peaked at 6 devs connected in the year I watched |
| 9 |
it), and didn't justify the hardware & manpower resources it too. |

Our LDAP instead has a gentooIM attribute, and 64 developers have XMPP |
| 12 |
accounts list (72 unique JIDs). |

|

A stable public XMPP-MUC only instance (no local users) may have some |
| 15 |
value, but I wouldn't expect it to have anywhere near the turnout of |
| 16 |
IRC. |
