Comment on Ask HN: How to pick a good XMPP server?parent

Avoid Openfire.

I'm in the process of migrating from Openfire to prosody because of issues with Openfire's stability and lack of forward motion (there are features that have been in the works for literally years that still aren't going anywhere -- such as vhosts -- that are standard in many other xmppds.

I'll have to check it out, if you remember I'd love to hear how well the migration went and if prosody is working better for you.

I only mentioned Openfire because it was something I knew that didn't require learning erlang to configure and was easy to setup chat rooms and such with.
