    Not needed.
    Configure your facebook account as a jabber account.

    Username: ... (Do NOT put your email address here. Go to
    www.facebook.com/username <http://www.facebook.com/username>)

    Password: ...

    Domain: chat.facebook.com <http://chat.facebook.com>

    Resource: Whatever you want :P

    In the next tab-

    Server: chat.facebook.com <http://chat.facebook.com>
    SSL: False
    Plaintext: False

    Save & Connect.


Nilesh , Techie like you make life == hell for normal users. Altough the
setting will work but why user has to do all these setting. Even if
somebody is a experience then also, one need to search or open some
webpage to enter these setting.
If user install facebook plugin then he/she will facebook in drop down
menu. all the need to enter his username and password.
I have observed so many such initial level hurdle for common persons and
configured schoolOS. SchoolOs has these plugins pre-installed.


Think for simplicity and not complexity.

You consider this hard?
Well, I've explained other non-geeky very new users who just migrated from windows the same thing and they were able to configure it successfully in the first attempt.
