 Zot is the great new communicaton protocol invented especially for $Projectname. As a member you are no longer bound to a single site or hub thanks to "Nomadic Identities". Migrate easily to another server and keep your contacts intact, or clone it and run the same channel on several servers. Just in case one of them might shut down, you don't lose out. Plus once you are inside $Projectname there is no need for you to authenticate twice, even when accessing another $Projectname site. Zot is what sets $Projectname apart.
