[jdev] Problems with group chat app

Mon Mar 24 23:00:46 UTC 2014

Michael,

I would suggest joining the prosody mailing list:
http://prosody.im/discuss#mailing_lists

You can get an almost instant response on their chat forums too...

( And to get better logging, you need to modify the prosody configuration
file to add debugging output - it is documented in the online manual on how
to do this, if I remember correctly).
