I differ. Resources should remain as resource, since in reality, on a protocol level
that's what they are. The protocal can be implemented however you wish. This is
simply a client side issue. If you don't like the term resource, it's easy to change
the label for it to say "Location" :)

[JDEV] Renaming "Resource"

I realize it's quite late in the game to propose such a thing... but
"resource" is a really confusing name. Several people with user
interface experience and I feel that "location" would be a better name. 

While it may become quite common to have several applications on the
same computer which will be accessing Jabber and thus need multiple
resources, I think the word "location" gets the point across more
quickly and would be better understood, even though the user is not
technically at a different physical location when they're running a
second client.

Thoughts? Jer? Temas?
