==General==
===How do I log-in?===

All you need is a committer account and access to popular XMPP clients like [http://www.adiumx.com/ Adium] or [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin].

To log-in, use your Eclipse bugzilla id and password. '''Note, you have to escape the '@' symbol with '\40' in most chat clients'''. This is because not all chat clients have implemented [http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0106.html JEP-0106].

===How do I chat with people?===

The first step with chatting with someone is to add them to your address book. You can add them manually:

Or, you can add a [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/lists.php?list=allbyproject group] that people are part of to see the contacts within that respective group:
