Please make it simple for me

I love the idea of letting members of my forum chat to each other via IM but I am not a very technical person and I cannot make sense of what’'s on offer here.

Wildfire/Spark seems like a great idea but I’‘m not even sure it does what I want it to do. The documentation presupposes I already understand a lot, and I don’'t.

Is there a simple guide anywhere? Can somebody simplify it for me. I need to be given steps.

Do I need to install Wildfire first? What is the relationship between the two? Do I need to host one of them on my server and let users install the other?

Please help!

Hi Wakey

Do I need to install Wildfire first?

Yes, but not on your desktop but on a 24x7 available server.

What is the relationship between the two?

Wildfire is the chat server and Spark is the chat client.

Do I need to host one of them on my server and let users install the other?

Yes.
