Suggestion: "What we're doing" alternative

[LogicParrot]

The "What we're doing" post is essentially a poor man's IRC alternative.

I'm a fan of XMPP though, it's encrypted, it allows re-sending the last X messages in MUC out of the box, it is more decentralized, it easily works with multiple resources (pc, mobile at the same time), it has file-transfer without port-forward stuff, etc.

I have an XMPP server at hand, I could set up a MUC if you guys are interested.
