+It is necessary to use a BOSH host - so to use this plugin, each users need to
+know the address of a BOSH host that works with his account. The BOSH server of
+the Jappix project (https://bind.jappix.com/) is not locked to a specific XMPP
+provider, but keep in mind that only personal usage is approved according to

+server and recommend it using the configuration help field. If it is on the
+same server, you can also deactivate the BOSH proxy. This should improve the
+performance.
