This site is dedicated to fully documenting the Jabberd 2 server. Jabber is the set of standards that provides for an open instant messaging (IM) platform that offers a rich feature set, including encryption, asynchronous messaging, and connectivity with proprietary IM platforms. The Jabberd server is the original implementation of the Jabber protocols, which are now known as Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) used by Google Talk and other platforms. Jabberd 2 is the successor to the widely-used Jabberd 1.4 server.

You never fail to impress me with the extensiveness and quality of your work - both in your product which I have used on and off for 18 months, and your documentation. Although the bank doesn't yet use your servers, I have done so in a company I ran in another life.

Thanks for the kind words. Rob Norris is responsible for Jabberd 2. I do the doc.'s. I'll pass your words along to him.

How to use LDAP with the Jabber Server?
To be honest, this documentation is totally unhelpful. I understand this is not a forum for resolving blah blah, so I won't cry out all my problems with your work (and Rob's), possibly the documentation is very good for people for whom jabberd2 works. What I was looking here was some troubleshooting section, I even found some of it in the FAQ, but it only helps with really "newbie" kind of problems. I can see the thousands of hours of your and Rob's work, still, jabberd2 won't work for me and some others I know. Please consider allowing some more user feedback to make FAQ better.

Use the SearchPage, or go directly to Section 3.3 and Section 4.7.

I am sorry that you find this documentation not helpful. I have considered writing a troubleshooting section. I even installed Fedora under Vmware to try and troubleshoot Fedora and RH install issues. This was by no means a small task — it took me several evenings to get it installed, and once I did, I was unable to replicate Jabberd 2 install issues.
I may yet attempt to write a troubleshooting section; however, I have several other items on my todo list before I get there. I'd like to be writing about Jabberd 2 and transports right now. Instead, I have been debugging web server problems (and rewriting my web application) for the past week.
The reason why this is not a forum for resolving individual Jabberd 2 issues is because the comments are not permanent, and because questions posted here are posted to a much smaller audience of experts than is the case for the Jadmin and Jabberd lists.
As far as enabling more useful feedback in the FAQ, could you be more specific?
