Re: Group message option
Do you want to send messages to all users in a buddy group or do you want to use chatrooms? The former is not supported by Pidgin due to its high likelyness to be abused (unless you're the admin of an XMPP/Jabber server and you want to send a message to all of your users), the latter is supported (see FAQ).

I have the Pidgin program installed on my netbook. I'm sure it's a wonderful IM utility, but I use another IM program that I am perfectly content with. It would appear that I have to reformat my entire OS in order to remove Pidgin from my computer (HP Mini 1110), due to my inability to locate a non-existent uninstaller for this program.

I believe some Pidgin developers do use OpenFire, but we really don't recommend it. It has some serious bugs (failure to validate XML properly, various crashes), including some which have been a problem for Pidgin in the past. XMPP is indeed a good choice for an internal messaging server, however, that much of this recommendation is good. (I'm not going to say we actively *discommend* OpenFire, either, but I do want to clarify that this OpenFire recommendation is _not_ a recommendation of the Pidgin team.)

We've got a specific application where we want to get information from an aircraft to input directly into a chat room, but the aircraft can't use internet or voice/cell phone.
