+      Need to work on this section, explaining people in clear words
+      what the hell is this service!

+  <p>
+    The <em>Salut</em> service is a serverless communication service:
+    you do not need to connect and authenticate to a central server in
+    order to use it.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    This kind of serverless messaging system is restricted to a local area
+    network and an active Internet connection is not necessary.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    The people that use this service inside the same local area network
+    will be auto-discovered, and it will be possible to send them messages
+    and files as with other services.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    All the modern local area networks should be able to support this kind
+    of service.
