MRI 1.8.7 recently worked, but is currently suffering from unknown exceptions

• hipchat: xmppr4 works on MRI/jRuby

  • UTF-8 bugs recently fixed!
  • Huge thanks to hoxworth for his work on xmpp4r!

• hipchat-smackr: jRuby only (experimental)

  • crashes network disconnects
  • works with UTF-8

• campfire: MRI/? -- I don't think Campfire support has been tested in over a year.

2. Add credentials to config.yml, configure plugins to load

3. [MRI] Start the ISIS Daemon in the foreground bin/isis run or in the background bin/isis start

    Usage: isis <command> <options> -- <application options>
   
    * where <command> is one of:
      start         start an instance of the application
      stop          stop all instances of the application
      restart       stop all instances and restart them afterwards
   

4. [jRuby] Start the ISIS Daemon or in the foreground bundle exec bin/isis-run.rb or in the background bundle exec bin/isis (no args yet)

• jRuby background/daemon support is new/minimal (early 2013)
