     @darkrose I disagree... !xmpp conference rooms are far superior to #irc channels

     @darkrose I agree with @cyberkiller, they are not even on the same level, !xmpp is far better

     @darkrose you can always use an irc gateway, so !xmpp > irc

     @czhan I think it's partly a matter of tools familiarity and partly that irc usually doesn't force you to find an account provider first

     @darkrose you can use your client to discover the public rooms on a server, if your client supports it

     @darkrose no, but on the other hand #irc servers are kicking ppl who list all the channels so in both cases u need 2 know the room name

     @darkrose, wait what, this IS standardized, about any client out there implements this

     @darkrose because functionnalities are limited to client/server support, an #IRC client can implement the whole RFC, or not

     @darkrose that the same with _every_ protocol, format, or anything standard

     @darkrose anyway room listing isn't a chatroom feat. let's move on to security, encoding support, persistance, and other options, shall we?

     @darkrose The servers offer lists of their rooms that can be retrieved through the clients. Also take a look to http://search.wensley.org.uk

     @czhan !irc don't require to register an account, this *could* be a reason why IRC *group* chat is more attractive than !xmpp More #freedom

     @finkregh If you have #xmpp #chat_room, what info you place on your web page for people to get to the room? Imagine the same with #irc.
