I like to keep the button count to be exactly three. (And not only 
because that is the "ideal" number of obvious questions you should ask a 
new user in the first moment!)

Isn't describing what jabber "IS" already what it "DOES" ?  - Of course 
this isn't the same 100%, but imagine you don't know jabber.
We don't want people to think that jabber is something different from 
what it does. The visitors we are adressing here are clearly not 
interested in technical stuff. We should kee it simple.
Everything that goes beyond the three buttons is a matter for the "Geeks".

The current info an what it IS and what it DOES should be merged into 
only one answer.
