Hello,
something like:
http://www.jabberes.org/servers/
I know there is http://search.wensley.org.uk/ but that is not what the users want. (apart from the fact that nobody knows this website)

When I stay in the jabber@conference.jabber.org channel or german@ I notice that a lot of users want to smalltalk, if possible in his own language.
But where?
If I have luck I found a MUC in my language on my login server and I can ask in this MUC if someone knows a larger room.
But in my opinion a list on the www.jabber.org website with a global list of smalltalk MUCs would be very nice and maybe enlarged the overall amount of jabber users.
I don't know how many users who not use jabber any longer, because all MUCs seems to be death.

I really should get working on Jabber.me. Tell you what, I'll do that this afternoon. And then you could have smalltalk MUCs on chat.jabber.me :)

No, that's not my point, or better this is exactly my point. ;)

The list on jabberes.org/servers/ consists of 50 servers. (MucSearch 723)
Assumed every server have at least one Spanish "smalltalk channel" .
Jabber is still not very popular, therefore we would have now 50 Spanish "smalltalk channels" with 2-4 users. (and 1-2 from this 4 guys are always idle too)
That's not really smalltalk it's soliloquies. :(

In my opinion it would be much better if there would be 2-4 Spanish smalltalk channels with 50 users.
But where?
Where the users can find this Spanish smalltalk channels?
Search on conference.jabber.org for a spanish channel?
Join jabber@ or chat@conference.jabber.org and ask for it?

It would be very nice, if there would be somewhere on jabber.org a list with language specific smalltalk channels, maybe somewhere on www.jabber.org.
http://www.jabber.org/web/Chatrooms and the link to MucSearch is not enough, in my opinion.
And NO, I mean not that jabber.org should contain more smalltalk channels in more languages. I mean the possibility to find this MUCs and some way to force the users to use only 2-4 MUCs for language specific smalltalk.
If this MUCs would be larger, there would be enough users to answer jabber and/or client specific questions too.

(If Spanish smalltalk channels are too abstract, http://search.wensley.org.uk/jid/Linux in which room you would ask questions about Linux? )
