Once you are logged into your account, Actions->Enter Room:
swift at rooms.swift.im.

You would need an XMPP account, yes. We have previously assumed that
most people coming to Swift will be users with existing XMPP accounts
looking for a client (or it being rolled out across an enterprise with
issued accounts, etc.).

Is this wrong? Are we likely to see an increasing number of people
wanting to use Swift for Swift's sake, rather than because they need a
client? Should we provide a help page discussing how and where to get
an account?
