Is there any kind of online chat room or IRC channel for people to discuss OSQA and get help? |

If you already have a Jabber or Google Talk account, you can join the chat room 'osqa' on server 'talk.dzone.com'. There are usually people in the chat room, and you are welcome to stick around as long as you wish. Depending on how your browser is setup, you may be able to join the chat automatically by clicking on this link: <xmpp:osqa@talk.dzone.com?join>
We also have recently opened a channel on IRC. It is just getting started, but you are welcome to jump in, chat and help get that moving, too!
Please note: people have had lots of problems trying to use the Google Talk web-based chat client for group chats. You're likely to get much better results with an application like pidgin, Trillian, or Adium than with the Google client. Which are the values that must be set in the configuration of Pidgin? I am a bit lost with the setup.

I too would like some help getting pidgin configured from scratch. What account do I use? Where do I sign up?

In Pidgin, once you have logged in, go to "Join a Chat"

OK, I'm fully stumped. I can't figure out how to configure Trillian Pro or GTalk to connect to dzone's chat room. Anyone figure it out so far?

I haven't had luck with GChat.
