+These are some *Frequently Asked Questions* about this service, with
+some answers.
+
+What is %%site.name%%?
+----------------------
+
+%%site.name%% is a [micro-blogging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-blogging) service.
+You can use it to write short notices about yourself, where you are,
+and what you're doing, and those notices will be sent to all your friends
+and fans.
+
+How is %%site.name%% different from Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Plurk, others?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+%%site.name%% is an [Open Network Service](http://opendefinition.org/osd). Our main
+goal is to provide a fair and transparent service that preserves users' autonomy. In
+particular, all the software used for %%site.name%% is [Free Software](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software), and all the data is available
+under the [%%license.title%%](%%license.url%%) license, making it Open Data.
+
+The software also implements the [OpenMicroBlogging](http://openmicroblogging.org/) protocol, meaning that you can have friends on other microblogging services
+that can receive your notices.
+
+The goal here is *autonomy* -- you deserve the right to manage your own on-line
+presence. If you don't like how %%site.name%% works, you can take your data and the source code and set up your own server (or move your account to another one).
+
+Where is feature X?
+-------------------
+
+The software we run, [Laconica](http://laconi.ca/), is still in its early stages,
+and many features people expect from microblogging sites are not yet implemented. Some important ones that are expected "soon":
+
+* More [AJAX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX)-y interface
+* Maps
+* Cross-post to Pownce, Jaiku, etc.
+* Pull messages from Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku, etc.
+* [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/) integration
+* Image, video, audio notices
+
+There is [a list of bugs and features](http://laconi.ca/trac/) that you may find
+interesting. New ideas or complaints are very welcome.

+%%site.name%% is a **microblogging service**. Users post short (140
+character) notices which are broadcast to their friends and fans using
+the Web, RSS, or instant messages.
+
+If you'd like to try it out, first [register](%%action.register%%) a new account.
+Then, on the [public timeline](%%action.public%%), enter your message into
+the textbox at the top of the page, and click "Send". It will go out on the
+public timeline and to anyone who is subscribed to your notices (probably nobody,
+at first).
+
+To subscribe to other people's notifications, go to their profile page
+and click the "subscribe" button. They'll get a notice that you're now
+subscribed to their notifications, and, who knows?, they might subscribe
+back.

+You can post messages to %%site.name%% using a [Jabber](http://jabber.org/) client
+on your computer, mobile phone, or other platform. ([GTalk](http://talk.google.com/),
+Google's Jabber program, will also work.) This can be a convenient way to keep
+up with your friends on %%site.name%%.
+
+If you don't already have a Jabber account, you can use GTalk or one of the other
+[public Jabber services](http://www.jabber.org/im-services). You'll probably also
+need an IM client like [Pidgin](http://www.pidgin.im/).
+
+Managing your IM settings
+-------------------------
+
+Use the [IM settings](%%action.imsettings%%) page to set your IM preferences. You can add or change your Jabber address and set the flags for Jabber update.
+
+When you add or change your address, you'll receive a message from **%%xmpp.user%%@%%xmpp.server%%** asking you to confirm the change. (You may need to
+add %%xmpp.user%%@%%xmpp.server%% to your buddy list *before* changing your IM
+settings; this is definitely true for GTalk.)
+
+Sending updates
+---------------
+
+You send updates by sending messages to %%xmpp.user%%@%%xmpp.server%%. Messages
+should be less than 140 characters; longer messages will be truncated.
+
+Commands
+--------
+
+You can do some minor management of your account through Jabber. These are the
+currently-implemented commands:
+
+* **on**: Turn on notifications. You'll receive copies of messages by people
+ you subscribe to.
+* **off**: Turn off notifications. You'll no longer receive Jabber
+ notifications.

+===============================
+OpenMicroBlogging specification
+===============================
+
+:Author: Evan Prodromou (Control Yourself, Inc.)
+:Contact: evan@controlezvous.ca
+:Revision: 0.1.1
+:Date: 2008-07-07
+:Copyright: To the extent possible under law, Control Yourself, Inc
+ has waived all copyright, moral rights, database rights,
+ and any other rights that might be asserted over
+ The OpenMicroBlogging specification.
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+To allow users of one microblogging service to publish notices to
+users of another service, given the other users' permission.
+
+Enabling technologies
+=====================
+
+Depends on OAuth 1.0, OAuth Discovery 1.0, YADIS 1.0.
+
+We piggy-back additional information onto these protocols to pass
+microblogging information back and forth.
+
+Terminology
+===========
+
+microblogging service
+ undefined.
+user
+ undefined.
+listen
+ to allow a remote service to send notices to the user's local
+ service on a remote user's behalf.
+listener
+ the person listening.
+listenee
+ the user sending notices.
+remote service
+ the listenee's microblogging service.
+local service
+ the listener's microblogging service.
+profile URL
+ "home" URL for the listener, typically their profile page on a
+ microblogging site.
+nickname
+ An alphanumeric short name for a person, 1-64 characters.
+identifier URI
+ A globally unique and unchanging identifying URI for a user.
+ Need not be an URL. [*]_
+notice URI
+ A unique and unchanging identifier for a notice. Need not be an
+ URL. [*]_
+
+.. [*] May be the profile URL, if it's defined not to change or be
+ re-used. The profile URL of some services includes the nickname,
+ and some let the user change his/her nickname. This user's profile
+ URL may change from 'http://example.net/~john' to
+ 'http://example.net/~johnsmith' A tag URI, like
+ 'tag:example.net,2008:user:1' may be more appropriate here.
+.. [*] IWBNI the notice URI is used everywhere the notice is
+ published; for example, in any RSS feeds.
+
+Initiation
+==========
+
+The user submits their profile URL [*]_ to the remote service somehow --
+for example, with an HTML form on the remote service's Web site.
+
+.. [*] For OAuth Discovery, this is the "protected resource". It may
+ be more correct that the protected resource is the postNotice URL
+ (see below), but the listener will be more familiar with their own
+ profile URL. So there will have to be discovery of the postNotice
+ URL anyways, and it might as well all be done in one step.
+
+Discovery
+=========
+
+The remote service recovers a YADIS document from the profile URL, as
+described in OAuth Discovery.
+
+The request token service must have a LocalID associated with it,
+containing the identifier URI for the listener.
+
+The following two extra services must be included in the YADIS
+document, with accompanying URIs.
+
+http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1/postNotice
+ Post Notice URL, as defined below.
+
+http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1/updateProfile
+ Update Profile URL, as defined below.
+
+If any of the URIs is unavailable, the remote service MUST stop
+processing.
+
+Authorization
+=============
+
+The remote service must go through the OAuth 1.0 dance to get
+authorization to post notices and update profiles.
+
+In all OAuth, the consumer key should be the root URL for the
+microblogging service, if available. The secret should be the blank
+string (''), unless the remote server and local service have negotiated
+another key. Such negotiation is out-of-scope for this document, and we
+assume an "open" network of microblogging services. But if you want to
+have that kind of network, do it with this key.
+
+The remote service MUST do OAuth for every new listener, regardless of
+whether they've already received authorization for posting to the
+given postNotice URL. See `Posting a Notice`_ below.
+
+Request token
+-------------
+
+The remote service uses the defined requestToken URL to get a request
+token.
+
+In the request token HTTP request, the remote service MUST send the
+following additional parameter(s):
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'
+omb_listener
+ The identifier URI for the listener.
+
+In the results for the request token request, the local service MUST
+send the following additional parameters:
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'
+
+User authorization
+------------------
+
+In requesting user authorization, the remote service must send the
+following parameters:
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'.
+omb_listener
+ The identifier URI for the listener.
+omb_listenee
+ The identifier URI for the listenee.
+omb_listenee_profile
+ The profile URL of the listenee.
+omb_listenee_nickname
+ The nickname of the listenee.
+omb_listenee_license
+ The default license URL for the listenee's stream. Typically the
+ URL of a Creative Commons license, with the Attribution license
+ being heavily encouraged. CC0 quitclaim also pretty good. The
+ local service MAY reject listenees if their licenses are
+ incompatible with the service.
+
+The remote service should send as many of the following parameters as
+possible. This will help the user decide if they really want to allow
+the listening to happen, and allow the local service to store a copy
+of the listenee's profile.
+
+omb_listenee_fullname
+ The full name of the listenee. Up to 255 chars.
+omb_listenee_homepage
+ The home page of the listenee (may be distinct from the profile
+ URL).
+omb_listenee_bio
+ A brief biography of the listenee; less than 140 chars.
+omb_listenee_location
+ Physical location of the listenee; less that 255 chars. No fixed
+ structure, but "Locality, Region, Country" or "Locality, Country"
+ or "Locality, Region" recommended.
+omb_listenee_avatar
+ URL of a 96px by 96px image in PNG, GIF or JPEG format representing
+ the listenee.
+
+The local service, in a successful response, must return the
+following additional parameters:
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'.
+omb_listener_nickname
+ A nickname for the listener.
+omb_listener_profile
+ The profile URL for the listener, possibly cleaned up or
+ canonicalized.
+
+It should return as many of the following as possible:
+
+omb_listener_fullname
+ The full name of the listener. Up to 255 chars.
+omb_listener_homepage
+ The home page of the listener (may be distinct from the profile
+ URL).
+omb_listener_bio
+ A brief biography of the listener; less than 140 chars.
+omb_listener_location
+ Physical location of the listener; less that 255 chars. No fixed
+ structure, but "Locality, Region, Country" or "Locality, Country"
+ or "Locality, Region" recommended.
+omb_listener_avatar
+ URL of a 96px by 96px image in PNG, GIF or JPEG format representing
+ the listener.
+
+This will allow the remote service to display information about the
+listener in the listenee's "listeners" or "subscribers" list.
+
+Access token
+------------
+
+The access token step of the OAuth protocol requires no additional
+parameters.
+
+Posting a Notice
+================
+
+To post a notice to the local service, the remote service sends an HTTP
+POST message to the postNotice URL discovered above. The message must
+use OAuth authorization. The message must also include the following
+parameters:
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'.
+omb_listenee
+ The identifier URI for the listenee.
+omb_notice
+ The notice URI.
+omb_notice_content
+ The content of the notice. No maximum, but 140 chars is recommended.
+
+The message may include the following parameters:
+
+omb_notice_url
+ The URL of the notice, if the notice is retrievable.
+omb_notice_license
+ The URL of the license for the notice, if different from the
+ listenee's default license.
+omb_seealso
+ URL of additional content for the notice; for example, an image,
+ video, or audio file.
+omb_seealso_disposition
+ One of 'link' or 'inline', to recommend how the extra data should
+ be shown. Default 'link'.
+omb_seealso_mediatype
+ Internet Media Type of the see-also data. Advisory, probably
+ shouldn't be trusted.
+omb_seealso_license
+ License for the attached data. May be distinct from the notice's
+ license (if they're passing along someone else's content).
+
+The local service should include the following parameters in its
+response:
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'.
+
+The local service makes no guarantees about the delivery of the notice
+to anyone.
+
+The remote service SHOULD NOT send a message with the same notice URL
+to the same postNotice URL more than once. [*]_ If the request returns
+a 403 Unauthorized message, the remote service SHOULD NOT post
+messages to the same URL again with the same listenee, until another
+listener has gone through the OAuth dance. [*]_
+
+.. [*] A half-assed optimization. A local service may have a lot of
+ listeners listening to the same listenee. It would be pointless to
+ have the remote service post the same notice 100 times to the same
+ service. However, if the local service wants fine-grained control,
+ it can have a different postNotice URL for each listener.
+.. [*] If there's one postNotice URL per listener, the 403 message
+ means the listener has told the local service not to allow posting
+ any more ("unsubscribed"). If there's one postNotice URL per local
+ service, it means that the count of listeners has dropped to 0.
+
+Updating a profile
+==================
+
+If the listenee's profile information changes, the remote service MAY
+send an HTTP POST message to to the updateProfile URL to tell the
+local service about the change.
+
+The message must use OAuth authorization. The message must also
+include the following parameters:
+
+omb_version
+ 'http://openmicroblogging.org/protocol/0.1'.
+omb_listenee
+ The identifier URI for the listenee.
+
+The message may include any of the following parameters:
+
+omb_listenee_profile
+ The profile URL of the listenee.
+omb_listenee_nickname
+ The nickname of the listenee.
+omb_listenee_license
+ The default license URL for the listenee's stream. A change in the
+ default license only applies to future notices; notices previous
+ to the update SHOULD be treated as under the old license.
+omb_listenee_fullname
+ The full name of the listenee. Up to 255 chars.
+omb_listenee_homepage
+ The home page of the listenee.
+omb_listenee_bio
+ A brief biography of the listenee; less than 140 chars.
+omb_listenee_location
+ Physical location of the listenee; less that 255 chars.
+omb_listenee_avatar
+ URL of a 96px by 96px image in PNG, GIF or JPEG format representing
+ the listenee.
+
+Missing parameters should not be construed to mean that the profile
+field has been blanked. The remote service MUST set the parameter to
+an empty string to show that the field is blank.

+[OpenMicroBlogging](http://openmicroblogging.org/) is a protocol that
+lets users of one [microblogging](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/microblogging) service
+subscribe to notices by users of another service. The protocol, based on
+[OAuth](http://oauth.net/), is open and free, and doesn't depend on any
+central authority to maintain the federated microblogs.
+
+The [Laconica](http://laconi.ca/) software that runs %%site.name%% supports
+OpenMicroBlogging 0.1. Anyone can make a new installation of Laconica on their
+own servers, and users of that new installation can subscribe to notices from
+%%site.name%%.
+
+Remote subscription
+-------------------
+
+If you have an account on a remote site that supports OpenMicroBlogging, and you
+want to subscribe to the notices of a user on this site, click on the "Subscribe"
+link under their avatar on their profile page. This should take you to the
+[remote subscription](%%action.remotesubscribe%%) page. Make sure that you've got the
+right nickname registered, and enter your profile URL on the other microblogging
+service.
+
+You'll be taken to your microblogging service, where you'll be asked to confirm the
+subscription. When you confirm, your service will receive new notifications from
+the user on %%site.name%%, and your service will forward them to you (using IM, SMS,
+the Web, or whatever else).
