| 40 Based on the powerful {{ xmpp }} standard, SàT can obviously be used for instant messaging... and much more! | |
| 41 Blogging and microblogging, file sharing, games are other possible usage.... Using gateways, you can also communicate with other networks like IRC or StatusNet. It is also possible to redirect your XMPP messages to your email adress, or to send an email that would be delivered on XMPP. | |
| 42 The "X" of XMPP stands for eXtensible: our features list is also extensible! Check the specifications page for a current status of what we've been doing. | |

| 56 SàT has been developped since the beginning with an idea in mind: it should be useable from the command line, with a console or desktop interface, from a web browser... The backend of the software manages the communication with your XMPP server and do most of the processing. On top of that, you are free to use the frontend of your choice. If you would like to help the project, a great thing would be to developp a new frontend: don't hesitate to contact us! | |

| 84 This is the most complicated aspect to understand, yet a crucial one. Being based on {{ xmpp }}, SàT is immediately decentralised (federated). But what does it mean? To get this point, we need to imagine the Internet as a set of layers. To make it easier, let's say there are only two layers: the physical and the logical one. On the physical layer, you are directly connected to your {{ isp }}, and indirectly to all the rest of the world. | |
| 85 {% endblocktrans %} | |
| 86 <div class="thumbnail"> | |
| 87 <img src="{% static "images/decentralisation/1_physical.png" %}" ><br/> | |
| 88 <div class="caption"> | |
| 89 {% trans "The dots represents Internet users, the lines represents physical links - server-to-server links for the central triangle, client-to-server links for the rest." %} | |
| 90 </div> | |
| 91 </div> | |
| 92 </p> | |
| 93 <p> | |
| 94 {% blocktrans %} | |
| 95 On the logical layer, you are directly connected to your favorite social network, and since it's centralised, all its users are directly connected to it: it can access and own all the data, it can unilaterally decide to censor or exclude a user... it has too much power. | |
| 96 {% endblocktrans %} | |
| 97 <div class="thumbnail"> | |
| 98 <img src="{% static "images/decentralisation/2_logical_centralised.png" %}" ><br/> | |
| 99 <div class="caption"> | |
| 100 {% trans "Centralised communication system on top of the physical layer - note that one user on the right who refuses to use such a system." %} | |
| 101 </div> | |
| 102 </div> | |
| 103 </p> | |
| 104 <p> | |
| 105 {% blocktrans %} | |
| 106 Now what if your favorite social network is decentralised? The main difference is that there's not a single entity to manage all the connections and all the data, but a lot of them. | |
| 107 All the users are connected to the same network, but each of them can decide which server they want to connect to. As a result, the data and the network administration's tasks are shared between all the servers. Is it possible to do that on the Internet? Yes, this is how the Email works! That's decentralisation. | |
| 108 {% endblocktrans %} | |
| 109 <div class="thumbnail"> | |
| 110 <img src="{% static "images/decentralisation/3_logical_decentralised.png" %}" ><br/> | |
| 111 <div class="caption"> | |
| 112 {% trans "Decentralised communication system on top the physical layer - the user on the right is still resisting." %} | |
| 113 </div> | |
| 114 </div> | |
| 115 </p> | |
| 116 <p> | |
| 117 {% blocktrans with xmpp="<abbr title=\"eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol\">XMPP</abbr>" federation_prefix='<a href="#federated">' federation_suffix='</a>' %} | |
| 118 Now what if you don't trust anybody? Then you are free to host your own server at home, via an association or in your working office... and this is possible too?! Yes, this is also how the Email works! And this is what we did for our server libervia.org and without asking the permission to anybody - the {{ xmpp }} interdomain {{ federation_prefix }}federation{{ federation_suffix }} makes it possible. | |
| 119 {% endblocktrans %} | |
| 120 <div class="thumbnail"> | |
| 121 <img src="{% static "images/decentralisation/4_logical_decentralised_self_hosting.png" %}" > | |
| 122 <div class="caption"> | |
| 123 {% trans "Decentralised communication system with self-hosting ability - the dot on the right is still an Internet user, but for the service it's both a user and a server." %} | |

| 126 </p> | |
| 127 <p> | |
| 128 {% blocktrans with contact_prefix='<a href="community.html">' contact_suffix='</a>' %} | |
| 129 So... to put it in a nutshell: decentralisation is like the Email works. There are many servers, you can use the one you want and if you want to help the decentralisation, you can also add a new server by yourself. It requires some technical knowledge but it doesn't cost much and it gives more freedom, feel free to {{ contact_prefix }}contact us{{ contact_suffix }} if you need some details! | |

| 133 {% blocktrans with article='<a href="http://networkcultures.org/unlikeus/resources/articles/what-is-a-federated-network/">Beyond distributed and decentralized: what is a federated network?</a>' %} | |
| 134 <b>Note:</b> decentralisation, federation, distribution... these terms are not strictly defined. To debate about that is not the goal of this page, but we recommend you the reading of this article: {{ article }} It's not XMPP-specific but it's a good start. | |

| 150 As a consequence, SàT communicates with other {{xmpp}} projects: the way we "talk" together is fully documented. For the user, this means you can switch from one {{ xmpp }} client to another using the same account. This is taking the opposite direction to some proprietary and commercial networks which tend to lock their users up. Open your borders! | |
