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

+ + + What is the <em>Salut</em> service? + +

+ The Salut service is a serverless communication service: + you do not need to connect and authenticate to a central server in + order to use it. +

+

+ This kind of serverless messaging system is restricted to local + network and an active Internet connection is not necessary. +

+

+ The people that use this service inside the same local network + will be auto-discovered, and it will be possibile to send them messages + and files as with other services. +

+

+ All the modern local network should be able to support this kind + of service. +
