Basically, you have a bunch of servers that can talk to each other, and users 
from those systems can talk betwixt each other. It is much closer to a 
real-time e-mail system than anything. If you remember how talk works on UNIX, 
then you have the idea.

I don't know how well GTalk handles the conferencing aspects of XMPP, but I 
know that you can use other, more full-featured clients to connect using your 
Gmail account. You should be able to connect to the conferences service on my 
server pretty easily, as I don't have any strange restrictions. Additionally, 
once you are there, you can get a listing of the channels that have been 
created on my server, which correspond to chat rooms. You should see maybe one 
or two, and you can join #SchemePunks.

Of course, we could host the chat room on the SchemePunks servers if someone 
wanted to install some Jabber software on the servers.
