This will run the queue handlers:
* queuedaemon.php - polls for queued items for inbox processing and
pushing out to OMB, SMS, XMPP, etc.
* xmppdaemon.php - listens for new XMPP messages from users and stores
them as notices in the database.
* jabberqueuehandler.php - sends queued notices in the database to
registered users who should receive them.

These two daemons will automatically restart in most cases of failure
including memory leaks (if a memory_limit is set), but may still die
or behave oddly if they lose connections to the XMPP or queue servers.

Since version 0.8.0, it's now possible to use a STOMP server instead of
our kind of hacky home-grown DB-based queue solution. See the "queues"
config section below for how to configure to use STOMP. As of this

Contributions of translation information to StatusNet are very easy:
you can use the Web interface at http://status.net/pootle/ to add one
you can use the Web interface at TranslateWiki.net to add one
or a few or lots of new translations -- or even new languages. You can
also download more up-to-date .po files there, if you so desire.
