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

      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.
