What about using a local jabber.org server?

I personally would be cool with that but nobody uses it, I haven't come accross this anywhere except maybe hackerspaces. Restaurant/bar owners would need to set it up, plus you need a computer(the router?) that is always online and tell the people how to enter the chatroom.

I just want a programm that I can fire up whenever I go somewhere with a (Wireless)LAN to see what's going on. Like Firechat for (W)LANs?
