 Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go.
 It intends to provide an **efficient**, **reliable** and **scalable** alternative to Synapse:
  - Efficient: A small memory footprint with better baseline performance than an out-of-the-box Synapse.
- - Reliable: uses the [same test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest) as Synapse as well as
+ - Reliable: Implements the Matrix specification as written, using the
+   [same test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest) as Synapse as well as
    a [brand new Go test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement).
  - Scalable: can run on multiple machines and eventually scale to massive homeserver deployments.
