Matrix is an ambitious new ecosystem for open federated Instant Messaging and
|
|
VoIP. The basics you need to know to get up and running are:
|
|
|
|
* Everything in Matrix happens in a room. Rooms are distributed and do not
|
|
exist on any single server. Rooms can be located using convenience
|
|
aliases like #matrix:matrix.org or #test:localhost:8448.
|
|
* Matrix user IDs look like @matthew:matrix.org (although in the future you
|
|
will normally refer to yourself and others using a 3PID: email address,
|
|
phone number, etc rather than manipulating Matrix user IDs)
|
|
|
|
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written in Python/Twisted,
|
|
developed and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation core team.
