+Prosody is a server for Jabber/XMPP written in Lua. It aims to be
+easy to use and light on resources. For developers, it aims to give a
+flexible system on which to rapidly develop added functionality or
+rapidly prototype new protocols.
+
+Before you can run prosody you'll need to look in README.SBo.
+
+You need a "prosody" user and group prior to building prosody.
+Something like this will suffice for most systems:
+ groupadd -g 274 prosody
+ useradd -u 274 -g 274 -s /sbin/nologin -d /var/lib/prosody prosody
+Feel free to use a different uid and gid if desired, but 274 is
+recommended to avoid conflicts with other stuff from SlackBuilds.org.
