====== Open discussion day ======


<del>What is an open protocol?</del>

<del>What are the benefits of open protocols?</del>

Does using an open protocol mean that my conversations can be seen by anyone?

<del>Why should I use an open protocol?</del>

What open protocols are there? Jabber/XMPP, IRC, email

My friends use other networks (how can I make them switch)?

Examples of people who have switched (darco, etc.)

<del>"Advanced" features: setting mood, user tune.</del>
