Description

For someone who knows nothing about jabber and online status (Me!) this setting page is very confusing. I have no idea what it is asking me with, "The Jabber Account your Server needs to query the Onlinestatus." Maybe the there could be examples in each field of what syntax should go there along with more of an explanation of what is needed to make this module work.

This is true.
I never realised that my comments are completly useless if the user does not know what i mean.
i'll try to fix it.
Any suggestions how i can improve the usability will be accepted.

the main thing for me is examples. If I can see an example of what might go in the setting than it is much easier to know what the module is asking for. One simple example is my personal google talk setting, I tried my username which didn't work but then tried username@google.com which was right (though still doesn't work correctly). An example saying "username@google.com" is useful.

Also, it's unclear which fields are necessary to have the module work, or work for a particular chat client.

I try to make the interface more useable, also i'm working on a complete documentation. This should be done soon.
