+SàT is the acronym (yes another one :( ) in tribute to the song Salut à Toi from the Bérurier Noir band and it means "hi to you" (which seems appropriate for a communication software). If you want to listen to the song, we also recommend the excellent cover from Les Ogres de Barback.
+jp stands for "Jabber coPy" or "JumP", and was choosen for its similarity with "cp" and short name.
 Primitivus is based on Urwid, and, according to their FAQ, "ur" is a German prefix for "ancestral or primal" (primitivus is a latin word).
+Libervia is made from "Liber" (libre) and via (road, path). It could be understood as the libre road, or the path to freedom.
+Cagou is the name of a beautiful bird (who bark and can't fly) from New-Caledonia, and it's also a wink to Kivy, the framework used.

 Pyjamas:
 Libervia is built with a Pyjamas (http://pyjs.org), a Google Web Toolkit port for python, including Python to Javascript compiler, and Pyjamas Desktop which allow to execute the same application on the desktop or through a browser. It's really an amazing tool.
 
+Kivy and its linked tools (python-for-android, buildozer, plyer, pyjnius):
+Kivy and linked tools (https://kivy.org) are used to build Cagou frontend, and to port it on several platforms. Excellent pieces of software, well thought,
