refactored README.md and website text
- Fixed list that should render correctly on cgit's web interface - Added a services section - Moved up relevant links that should come before services - A few minor edits

# The Sigsum Project
Sigsum is a free and open source project that brings transparency logging to

+- Centralised log operations but distributed trust assumptions &#10004;
+- Discoverability of statements for the data of your choice &#10004;
A minimal statement encodes the following claim: the right data has a
certain cryptographic hash. You can add additional meaning to each
statement. For example, you may use a sigsum log to claim things like
-i) everyone get the same news articles, ii) software package X builds
-reproducibly, or iii) a list of key-value pairs are maintained with
-policy Y.

+## Services
+We self-host all services that are required to function as a project. Each
+service is operated on a best-effort level that is good enough for sigsum to
+rely upon. Please report any issues to the sigsum team via chat or email.
-Chat with users and developers using either IRC or Matrix. The rooms
-are bridged so it doesn't matter which one you choose.
