    <p>This is the <strong>{{ site.name }}</strong> communication service website.  This site is here to provide basic
    information on using this service.  A <a href="{{ site.url }}/help/definitions/#xmpp-server">XMPP</a>
    service provides messaging ability via a local client.  XMPP sites like this service are
    <a href="{{ site.url }}/help/definitions/#federation">federated</a>, meaning they are able to connect
    to diffrent XMPP servers on diffrent domains, similer to how email allows you to send messages to users on other
    domains/servers.  This service is in complete compliance with
    <a href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0375.html">XEP-0375</a>. The XEP-0375 document specifies the 2016
    compliance levels for XMPP clients and servers.</p>

    <p>This service requires the use of a client to connect to the server with.  Please see the
    <a href="{{ site.url }}/help/clients/">client list</a> for a small list of available clients that
    may be used.  My personal preferred clients are <a href="https://gajim.org/">Gajim</a> or
    <a href="https://swift.im/">Swift</a> for desktop/laptops and <a href="https://conversations.im/">Conversations</a>
    or <a href="https://chatsecure.org/">ChatSecure</a> for mobile.</p>
