{% trans "Multipurpose" %}

{% blocktrans with xmpp="XMPP" features_prefix="" features_suffix="" %} Based on the powerful {{ xmpp }} standard, SàT can obviously be used for instant messaging. Here are some of the other key {{ features_prefix }}features{{ features_suffix }}:{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}Microblogging: share your thoughts instantaneously{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}Group permissions: share what you want with only the people you want{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}File sharing{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}Games{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}Interaction with other networks: chat with your friends on IRC, StatusNet, other XMPP networks and potentially any network{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans with mua="MUA" %}Email client access: connect directly with any email client ({{ mua }}) like KMail or Thunderbird, and send messages on any supported network{% endblocktrans %}

{% trans "Tell me more" %}

{% trans "Multi frontend" %}

{% blocktrans with frontends_prefix="" frontends_suffix=""%}SàT can be used with {{ frontends_prefix }}different interfaces{{ frontends_suffix }}, the heart of the software being independent. This means that you can use SàT:{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}with a browser though the web interface{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}on your desktop, with the power of a native, integrated application{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}inside a console user interface{% endblocktrans %}
  • {% blocktrans %}through a command line{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}Other frontends are planned (e.g.: small screens) and it's always possible to adapt one to fit your needs.{% endblocktrans %}

{% trans "Tell me more" %}

{% trans "Libre" %}

{% blocktrans %}SàT is Libre (free as in freedom), which means that it follows the free software philosophy, not only because it's the best way to develop a software, but also in the spirit of sharing and freedom.{% endblocktrans %}
{% blocktrans %}In addition, SàT follows a social contract: a moral engagment with the user.{% endblocktrans %}

{% trans "Decentralised" %}

{% blocktrans with xmpp="XMPP" %}By being based on {{ xmpp }}, SàT is naturally decentralised. There is no big server where all the data is kept. This is the only way to fight against censorship, and to keep control of your data - you don't want to have your private pictures or intimate messages to be in the hands of an untrusted commercial company, do you?{% endblocktrans %}

{% trans "Standard" %}

{% blocktrans with xsf="XSF" xmpp="XMPP" %}Using a standard protocol is a key point: it's robust, widely used, tested and well documented. Every change is discussed publicly, there are debates on the best way to achieve goals and the {{ xsf }} is the guarantor of the evolution and stability of the protocol. SàT can communicate easily with other {{xmpp}} projects: the way it "talks" to others is fully documented.{% endblocktrans %}

{% trans "Federated" %}

{% blocktrans %}Federation means that SàT is open on the world. It can communicate on the global Jabber network. You can of course create your own private network, but you have the ability to send messages to somebody on an other server, using a different client, as well. That is taking the opposite road to some proprietary and commercial networks which tend to lock their users up. Open your borders!{% endblocktrans %}
