This guide will get you the very first steps in setting up
HipChat and not much more (I want to keep it simple)
What is HipChat
HipChat is a service from Atlassian. Their website is at https://www.hipchat.com/ [1].
From their own page
HipChat launched in 2010 to
give companies and teams a chat service that was built just for them. We wanted
to combine the power of group chat and the simplicity of consumer IM services
with the administrative controls that companies need.
