| 33 ** WTF ? ** | |
| 34 SàT is a XMPP (Jabber) client, made on a daemon/frontend architecture. Its aim is not only to be an instant messagery client: XMPP offer a lot more, and differents tools will come in the future. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 For the moment, the frontends are: | |
| 37 | |
| 38 * wix: a wxwidget frontend, the main graphical frontend | |
| 39 * sortilège: a ncurses client, for screen lovers | |
| 40 * jp: the command line toolkit. The tool for geeks by geeks | |
| 41 | |
| 42 other frontends planed in the near future: | |
| 43 | |
| 44 * a web frontend | |
| 45 * a KDE 4 frontend, as KDE is my main desktop environment | |
| 46 | |

55 SàT is really at an early dev stage, so it's maybe the buggiest software you have ever seen, and there are for the moment absolutely nothing to ease the installation and use (but it will be the case ASAP, one of the goal of the project is the ease of use). |
| 0 | 56 There will probably be a wiki doc in the future. |

| 61 | |
| 62 ** Misc ** | |
| 63 | |
| 64 -- Shortcuts for sortilège (temporary): | |
| 65 C-L: access contact list (enter to valid) | |
| 66 F2: Show/Hide contact list | |
| 67 C-S: Short representation of contacts in chat window | |
| 68 C-C: Use colors... or not | |
| 69 C-T: Timestamp | |
| 70 C-X: Leave | |
| 71 -- | |
| 72 | |
| 73 SàT is the acronym (yes another one :( ) in tribute to the song Salut à Toi from the Bérurier Noir band. I recommand also the excelent cover from Les Ogres de Barback. | |
| 74 jp stands for Jabber coPy or JumP. If you look well, you can also find my initials ;) | |
| 75 sortilège means "spell" in french, and it is ncurses based... | |
| 76 wix come of course from the WX of wxwidgets and just sound cool :). | |
| 77 | |
| 78 | |
| 31 | 79 ** /!\ Privacy warning /!\ ** |
| 0 | 80 |
| 31 | 81 To make setup easier, SàT ask my website (http://www.goffi.org) the external ip address of client. So a request is made to this page: http://www.goffi.org/sat_tools/get_ip.php . |
| 82 The IP are not collected. Future releases will probably come with a warning about this and an easy way to avoid it. | |

| 85 ** Credit ** | |
| 86 | |
| 87 proxy65: | |
| 88 SàT (plugin_xep_0065) use nearly all the code from proxy65 (http://code.google.com/p/proxy65/) wich was coded by Dave Smith (2002-2004) and maintained by Fabio Forno (2007-2008). | |
| 89 As the original MIT license allow, the code is reused and sublicensed until GPL v3 to follow the rest of the code. Thanks a lot to them ! | |
| 90 | |
| 91 progressbar: | |
| 92 SàT (jp) use ProgressBar (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/progressbar/2.2), a class coded by Nilton Volpato which allow the textual representation of progression. thanks to him | |
| 93 | |
| 94 twisted: | |
| 95 SàT is based on the twisted framework (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/), a very great tools which offer a lot of protocols management. There are too many contributors to name them here, so take a look on the website :). Again, thanks to them | |

101 The Wix frontend is made with wxWidgets (www.wxwidgets.org) and its python version wxPython (wxPython), which is a really handy UI toolkit who works on most popular platforms. It can be found on probably all major Gnu/Linux distributions. as usual, thanks to the authors. |
