+#summary Simple XMPP-over-websocket support
+#labels Stage-Alpha
+
+= Introduction =
+
+[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Sockets Web Sockets] is a new protocol for providing web pages with simple two-way communication with a web server.
+
+In our case it is interesting to tunnel XMPP over web sockets, as an alternative to e.g. BOSH, web sockets having less overhead.
+
+Note that the Web Socket specification has not been finalized, and is still evolving. There are currently no XMPP libraries capable of Web Sockets, but a good candidate for initial support is [http://code.stanziq.com/strophe/ Strophe.js].
+
+= Usage =
+
+Simply add mod_websocket to your modules_enabled list, as you would any other module. The repository includes a demo websocket.html file to show connecting to the socket. It doesn't yet perform any XMPP (see above comment about Strophe).

+= Compatibility =
