Hi,

today I have first tested Openfire 3.3 with its Gateway plugin. It's
quite straight-forward: install Openfire, log in to the web interface,
install the Gateway plugin, enable the networks you like and you're done
from the administrator's POV. No downloading and manual installing of
other software and their dependencies (recent Python, Twisted), no
separate system services and interconnection with ports and passwords,
configuration and other things. I could connect to ICQ and Yahoo without
any 3rd party software.

So, now there's PyICQ-t and others which were required to use ICQ
connections in previous versions of Openfire (Wildfire). What has
happened to those? Do I still need them? Are they just bundled in the
new Gateway plugin? (Plugins use Java, Py* uses Python, so I guess it's
some kind of re-write from scratch...) What's the functional difference
between Openfire's Gateway plugin and the other Py* transports? (I've
found a video about that improved roster integration that sounds
reasonable to me, is there anything else?)

Can anybody please enlighten me? The docs I found on the Openfire site
weren't too clear for me.
