Architecture
------------
Matrix is used to reliably distribute data between sets of `users`.
Server
------
Users are associated with one of many matrix `servers`. These distribute,
receive and store data on behalf of its registered users. Servers can be run on
any host accessible from the internet.
When a user wishes to send data to users on different servers the local server
will distribute the data to each remote server. These will in turn distribute
to their local users involved..
A user sends and receives data using one or more authenticated `clients`
connected to his server. Clients may persist data locally or request it when
required from the server.
