[Freedombox-discuss] prosody vs ejabberd

[Simon Tennant (buddycloud)]

Speaking to Prosody's documentation: http://prosody.im/doc/configure

- it's frigging awesome: clear, conscise, and easy to follow
- it's all in one place
- it's well maintained

Very nice work and one of the reasons why we recommend that buddycloud
admins setup on Prosody.
