Hi folks,

Glad to hear things are going well for you with Prosody!

I'd rather not bundle anything unofficial into the Prosody package
that isn't included upstream. We definitely plan to include LDAP auth
and storage with Prosody in a future version, but the ones you linked
to (most recent and seemingly most complete) are not even in
prosody-modules yet. We would rather they went through the usual path
to inclusion with Prosody to make sure they've had the right amount of
testing and review.

Another reason not to include them is that we work hard to keep
Prosody upgrades trivial. A config file from ~0.2 (Dec 2008) will
still work in Prosody 0.9 (coming) without change. Our upgrade-safety
includes things in prosody-modules. Having a significant portion of
users running code outside our control would make us cry.
