[JDEV] Mass communication

Sending a message to all online users:
send a message to your host with resource announce/online
example:  <message to='floobin.cx/announce/online'><body>Blah blah
blah</body></message>

Setting the MOTD:
send a message to your host with resource announce/motd
example:  <message to='floobin.cx/announce/motd'><body>This is the
motd</body></message>

You must be configured as an admin user to do this.

Hope this helps...
