[JDEV] JabberCentral [Was: Trillian Poll]

Yea thats one way, but using IP you are going to geographically locate the
nearest portal more correctly, for example lots of people all over the world
speak french for example and in their browser they might have only set
french in their browser because there was not a more appropriate option of
language, they probably dont want the France portal if there is one much
more geographically closer to them, the best option is to probably use a
combination of both (since certain people might not hae changed their
language preferences from the defaults, or not know how to), where there
could be a confusion e.g. they have selected en, fr, etc for the language
its probably best to use ip2country to determine the correct portal, but if
they have select English (United Kingdom) send them to the UK portal.
