From the Help-Wanted department
We are looking for testers, especially on Mac and Windows platforms (see http://dev.hyperstruct.net/xmpp4moz/wiki/DocUsingTestingBranch for how to track the testing packages), and for HTML/CSS/graphic artists, to provide a user-oriented site along with the current developer-oriented one. Drop us a mail if you or anyone you know would like to help!
