- It is also not installed anywhere by the package.

I corrected that a few minutes ago.  The NEWS file is now
installed into /usr/pkg/share/doc/jabberd/.

- We should probably at least remove the TODO item.

Well, there is a seperate package for the 1.4 based version of
jabberd.  I pulled the TODO list item for jabberd 2.3.0 when I
updated.

- Are you sure that 1.4 is maintained?  The URL in that Makefile goes to
- a page that is filled with dead links.  I see that there is a jabberd
- 1.6.1.1.  Oddly enough it is under the jabberd14 directory.

No, I can't say I'm sure, only that I recall (in listening in on
the various jabber/xmpp development and admin lists) that
jabberd14 was still being developed, and at version
1.6.<mumble>.  Personally, I've never touched it.

The URL listed in chat/jabberd is definitely incorrect.

FYI: it uses jabberd14 to describe it's lineage, as it is a
distinct code base from jabberd2. jabberd2 is a complete new
implementation.
