Well, there can also be icq.jabber.at, so i wouldn't preset it to
jabber.org/.com :).
but a jabber field in db would be great *g*

so long

[Gerfried Fuchs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about dropping icq field]
  Jason said he won't decide - I really understand that.  But maybe if
 some of the other 113 people that are currently using the icq field (or
 also others, that might use the jabber field) could comment on this it
 would be greatly encouraged to express your feelings :-)

I'm one of the other 113.  I just filled in the blank because it was
there.  Supporting, encouraging a free system is the Right Thing to do and
has my vote.

That said, if we're going to reorganize the contact details, how about
rolling irc into the mix.  I don't really use irc or icq that much but
fill in the blanks because I stop by from time to time.  What might be
better is a list box of common (or uncommon) systems and a space to enter
specific details.  Thus you might have primary/secondary, each one being
icq/aim/jabber/irc/whatever with a suitable length field to enter the
data

But ... to just remove ICQ with Jabber id would be a great way to start
the ball rolling.

 http://db.debian.org/, which I have to say I'm not really happy with.
 It's not the kind of thing that seems the right thing[tm] for Debian. I
 would rather like to have a jabber field instead of that

I second you idea. Jabber is an interesting free project and we could
help to spread it.
