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

<p>
Need to work on this section, explaining people in clear words
what the hell is this service!
</p>
</comment>
<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.
