[JDEV] jabber component development and jabbercentral

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

I found some excellent docs on http://docs.jabber.org, but the site seems to
have closed down. Where are the docs now ? It would be great to put them
all back online somewhere.

I read that components can either be internal (does this mean that the
code is based heavily on jabberd's ?) or external (totally standalone
codebase ?). I think one of the advantages of an internal component is
that it can rely on xdb for data storage. Am I right ? What are the
other pro and cons ?

Is there a "component writing guide" ?

http://www.jabbercentral.org/, which is supposed to contain docs,
redirects me to http://forums.jabbercentral.org/ (browser is Moz 1.5).
Is it normal ?

Thank you,

Lucas
