+Description: The Swift Instant Messaging client.
+ Swift is a free instant messaging client. It concentrates on making
+ the most-used features easily accessible, supporting
+ internationalisation, private and group chats, together with features
+ for security-conscious organisations including Security Labelling.
+ .
+ Swift uses the XMPP protocol and so supports both the public Jabber
+ network and closed XMPP services, such as those found in many
+ organisations.
