Is Ejabberd dead?
XMPP is not dead. Every major messaging system uses/used a variation of XMPP as its backed (whats app, iMessage, goggle talk, Facebook etc). It is certainly long in the tooth and was designed for the 90s but some of us are making efforts to modernize it.

What is the name of the server in Jabber?
Server is the server on which the conference will be created. It must be a MUC server, such as conference.jabber.org. The chat’s ID will be Room@Server, so the example “myconference” would have the ID “myconference@…” Handle is the name you wish to be displayed in the chat.
What was the original purpose of Jabber.org?
Jabber.org was started in 1999 and has offered free XMPP accounts to users continuously since. It originally served as the development test bed for the jabberd server project. After becoming more stable it also became more popular with end users.
How can I invite people to my Jabber chat?
In the chat’s tab, select Conversation -> Invite. Note that you can only invite people to a conversation that is already a chat/conference–you can’t “promote” a one-on-one conversation to a multi-user chat. Why can’t I send a file?
