Nilesh , Techie like you make life == hell for normal users. Altough the setting will work but why user has to do all these setting. Even if somebody is a experience then also, one need to search or open some webpage to enter these setting.

If user install facebook plugin then he/she will facebook in drop down menu. all the need to enter his username and password.

I have observed so many such initial level hurdle for common persons and configured schoolOS. SchoolOs has these plugins pre-installed.

Think for simplicity and not complexity.

You consider this hard?
Well, I've explained other non-geeky very new users who just migrated
from windows the same thing and they were able to configure it
successfully in the first attempt.

YEs,,,,,,, 

 

Well, I've explained

Me Lord, Point to be noted, I object, 

This is where the problem exist. You tells , You explained., Wiki explains, 100 blogs explains, Google search explains...

Why cannot you think in a simplistic way... where User can explain to himself. If you ask the best way THE USER like then I would say

Users must be asked for Drop drown menu (to select, facebook, googlechat, yahoo etc)

Then Username/email and password nothing else. Software is meant to keep complexity. Think like meebo.. Any Interface which ask other then these things is "very very very bad"

If we can customize Linux in the way USER want and USER like then we can win the game.

XMPP compliance is a new introduction to facebook chat.
Pidgin should gradually introduce Facebook as an option. Similar was
the case with gtalk as well. Initially it was configured with xmpp and
now gtalk appears as an option in new versions of pidgin.

File a bug report in their list. :-)

@Narendra, you ignored the rest part of my second paragraph lol.
I told you, with the same explanation they were able to configure it in
the first attempt.
