-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/ossd). 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.

-Users on %%site.name%% can create *groups* that other users can join.
-Groups can be a great way to share information and entertainment with
-a group of people who have a common interest or background.
-
-You can find out about groups on the server on the
-[Groups](%%action.groups%%) page. You can join a group by clicking on
-the "Join" button either in the group list or on the group's home page.
-
-Starting a new group
---------------------
-
-If you want, you can start a new group for friends and people with
-common interests. Note that all groups are free for anyone to join.
-
-To start a new group, use the [new group](%%action.newgroup%%) tool
-and fill out the form. Describe your group as best you can if you want
-people to be able to find it.
-
-When choosing the nickname for your group, try to keep it short. The
-nickname is included in every message to and from the group, so the
-less chars the better. Try using acronyms for organizations, or
-airport codes for places (like 'pdx' instead of 'portland').
-
-Sending messages to a group
----------------------------
-
-You can send a message to a group using the syntax "!groupname"
-anywhere in the message. If you have more than one group named, the
-notice will go to each group. Only members can send notices to a
-group, and groups do not respond to direct messages (DMs).
-
-Receiving messages
-------------------
-
-New group messages will appear in your inbox, and will also come to
-your phone or IM client if you've set them up to receive notices.
-
-Remote groups
--------------
-
-While it's technically possible, this version of Laconica does not
-support remote group membership.

-%%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

-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.

-Tagging a notice
-----------------
-
-You can tag a notice using a *hashtag*; a # character followed by
-letters and numbers as well as '.', '-', and '_'. Note that accented
-latin characters are not supported, and non-roman scripts are right out.
-
-The HTML for the notice will link to a stream of all the other notices
-with that tag. This can be a great way to keep track of a conversation.
-
-The most popular current tags on the site can be found in the [public
-tag cloud](%%action.publictagcloud%%). Their size shows their
-popularity and recency.
-
-Tagging yourself
-----------------
-
-You can also add tags for yourself on your [profile
-settings](%%action.profilesettings%%) page. Use single words to
-describe yourself, your experiences and your interest. The tags will
-become links on your profile page to a list of all the users on the
-site who use that same tag. It can be a nice way to find people who
-are related to you geographically or who have a common interest.
-
-Tagging your subscriptions
---------------------------
-
-You can also tag your subscriptions, on the subscriptions page. This
-makes it easy to organize your subscriptions into groups and sort
-through them separately.
-
-You can also send a notice "to the attention of" everyone you've
-marked with a particular tag (note: *not* people who've marked
-themselves with that tag). "@#family hello" will send a notice to
-everyone you've marked with the tag 'family'. \ No newline at end of file
