Important notice - documentation moved to the repo

The whole documentation was moved from github's wiki to the main repository with source code. This was done in order to keep the documentation more up-to-date. We also use readthedoc.org to host documentation for various versions of MongooseIM starting from 1.5.1. You can also go to the doc directory on our repo.

Below content will remain here but will no longer be updated.
