No, unfortunately, I don't have any documentation - the hard part was getting the Openfire part working. It looks like http://community.igniterealtime.org/docs/DOC-1060 and http://community.igniterealtime.org/docs/DOC-1362 are available as documentation for the openfire part. I suggest using Spark as a test client because it should work out of the box, then once it's working see: http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2009-August/004892.html -D Once i _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
