Jabberd providing DW account authentication

Title:
Jabberd providing DW account authentication

Area:
jabber

Summary:
Dreamwidth could run a jabberd, allowing people with jabber IM clients to auth using DW credentials and then IM each other.

Description:

There is a previous suggestion for a DW jabber bot at http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/10310.html

This suggestion is actually the pre-requisite to that.

Dreamwidth could run a jabberd, allowing people to authenticate using their DW credentials, automatically providing your "Subscribed" circle as a jabber friends list, and using your "Access" circle to allow people to see your online presence.

There's no need for DW to particularly support or integrate anything client-wise, any "Jabber/XMPP" capable IM client can simply connect and auth and then do-the-right thing from there.

This should not be a particularly resource heavy service to set up and run, so it could easily be an all-users feature.

Summary:
Add a link from the shop page to circle gifts.

Description:
Add a link from http://www.dreamwidth.org/shop to the Circle Gifts page, http://www.dreamwidth.org/shop/gifts

Currently the Circle Gifts page appears in the menu, but not in the actual shop. I'd suggest adding "Buy a Paid Account ... For someone in your circle" between the first two "For" links.
