+
+MCabber won't connect. It says `jab_start: SSL negotiation failed: self signed certificate`.
+:   Use `ssl_verify = 0` in the configuration file, or set the certificates
+    options correctly.
+    With mcabber >=0.10 the option name is `ssl_ignore_checks`.
+
+How do I connect to my Google Talk account?
+:   With mcabber >=0.10, setting the `jid` variable should work.
+    With mcabber 0.9, it should work with the following options:
+
+    set username = your.email@gmail.com
+    set server = talk.google.com
+    set ssl = 1
+    set ssl_verify = 0
+
+I want to bind a key, how do I know the code number?
+:   If the key is available, the key code will be displayed in the log window when
+    you hit that key.
+
+How do I create a group?
+:   Use `/move`, if the target group doesn't exist it will be created.
+
+How can I set a transparent background?
+:   Seti `color_background = default`.
+
+How do I use PGP encryption?
+:   Please see the [[OpenPGP]] page.
+
+How do I use OTR encryption?
+:   Someone wrote a small [HowTo][otr_howto].
+
+How to retrieve mcabber source using Mercurial?
+:   See [[Building_mcabber_from_Mercurial]].
+
+How comes the cursor is not at the end of line (EOL) when I use the Up and Down arrows?
+:   By default these keys are bound to `iline
+    hist_beginning_search_bwd/hist_beginning_search_fwd`, which is very useful once
+    you get used to it. Of course you can rebind the keys (259, 258) to
+    `iline hist_prev/hist_next` if you don't like this behaviour...
+
+Can I get rid of this timeout after hitting Escape?
+:   You can decrease the timeout value by setting the (Ncurses) environment
+    variable `ESCDELAY` (for example `export ESCDELAY=25; mcabber`). With mcabber >
+    0.9.5 there is an `escdelay` option.
+
+How can I prevent mcabber from scrolling when I receive a message?
+:   See `/buffer scroll_lock` and `scroll_unlock`. You can bind a key to `buffer
+    scroll_toggle` too.
+
+Can I use a transport with mcabber?
+:   You cannot register with mcabber. However, once you're registered, you can log
+    into and out of transports by sending presence to them (see `/status_to`).
+
+MCabber says `WARNING: Bad permissions`! What are "good" permissions for mcabber?
+:   MCabber expects its directory to be 700 (`rwx------`) and your configuration
+    file should be 600 (`rw-------`) to ensure that nobody else can read it.
+
+Fifo does not work in version >= 0.10.2! (also url regex)
+:   In 0.10.2 fifo and url regex were put into a separate from mcabber modules.
+    Module can be loaded with command `/module load fifo` (or `url_regex`
+    respectively). This command can also be put into your `mcabberrc` to load them
+    automatically at startup. Note, however, that you must set parameters for the
+    module before loading it.
+
+I have a feature request!
+:   Come and tell us in the mcabber MUC room.
+
+I want to make a donation...
+:   Really? Get my email/jid from the sources and contact me! ;-)
+    There's also a PayPal button on [MCabber's homepage][mcabber].
