How to create an account?

[Unregistered]

Hello,
I would like to create an account on jabber.org but I don't know how. I can see a "signup" button on other servers but on jabber.org.
Also, I would like to know if it is possible to use my gmail account someway.

Thanks very much.

depending on your client, you can select google talk as the type, and then just enter your gmail account info. The only one that doesn't that I know of is Psi, but Google posted instructions how to configure it here: http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?answer=24074&ctx=sibling. You can see all their instructions for clients here: http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/topic.py?topic=1415

The OP was asking about jabber.org, not Google Talk. For Jabber.org, register your account through a Jabber client - they should have an option to Create New Account in them.

Offtopic, but Psi will connect to Google Talk just fine, out of the box, and has done so for years.

Actually the OP said, "I would like to know if it is possible to use my gmail account someway." I do not think they realised that jabber.org is just a provider, and think that they need to somehow connect gmail to their jabber.org account.

Yes, I was saying that Psi does not have a Google Talk option, which automatically configures everything and just lets you enter your gmail account. Which is why I said to go look at Google's instructions for configuring it.

You could be right :)

Well, it doesn't have GTalk option, but it does automatically work if you just enter your gmail address and password.
