To connect to the Meeting Manager, Select Webfoot > Connect to Meeting Manager
The following dialog will be displayed to you.
An example of what to put in for the "GroupID" is the following:
ecftp://webfoot-ecf.cs.wpi.edu:3282/webfoot1
You can then enter what you wish for your Nickname.
Click OK and you will be connected to the Generic Chat Client.
Once in the chat room you can chat with any other people that are logged into the same GroupID as you. There are various capabitilies that have been made possible by the integration with SourceForge. You will find these when you right click in the chat pane. The items that have been added, aside from those already created by the ECF team, are "Create Task", "Open Existing Chat", and "Save Chat". There is help available for each of these.
