[JDEV] New: docu on groupchat and Jabber 1.2

[Keith Minkler]

dj,

 One other thing to point out... step 7 is not needed with the way you setup the config... that jabberd:sockets issue is only a problem when you are linking together jabberd's with exec and stdout, however, that should probably still be noted, since it was a really dumb bug in the 1.2RC server.. 

 also.. step 9 is not needed with a component that is loaded into jabberd (a .so) becuase it never has to make a socket connection.. internally, jabberd can resolve any hostname you put in the config.. it doesn't use DNS, (i.e. i can put in conferencing.microsoft.com if i really wanted to, and it will work perfectly).. HOWEVER, this IS needed for 1.0 transports that are using libetherx, AND to make your transport available to the outside world.. (like using conference.jabber.org from the jabber.com server)

 Other than those two minor points, this is a great piece of documentation!  Is this going to be on this site for awhile?  we are going to be trying to set something up on docs.jabber.org probably PHP based that pulls our existing sgml documentation from CVS, and it would work similar to php.net's documentation... We have a guy that is willing and able to put this all together, and your documentation would be a super addition to this documentation set on docs.jabber.org.
