Collaboration in the Sugar sense is simply helping kids play together. Kids play together all the time. They talk, they run, they throw balls back and forth. Sugar allows kids to talk and play and learn together.
'''Activities''' - Activities, in the Sugar world, are the programs and applications on which kids learn.
'''Neighborhood''' - Kids find people to play with in their neighborhood view. Who will be in my kids neighborhood?
Really, that is all you need to know when everything works.
But sometimes there are problems.

There are two routes for collaboration.
# You can collaborate "locally" without a server. If you remove the name of the Jabber server from your settings, or it fails to connect for some reason, then Sugar tries to connect locally. Sugar machines will be able to collaborate if they are connected to the same wireless network or wired port. It will not work over your entire LAN, you have to be on the same segment.
# You connect up to a Jabber Server. You can either use one on the Internet or you can install your own as part of an XS server installation. To use a Jabber server, go to 'My Settings' -> Network and put in the name of the server you want to use.
===Local Collaboration on a Wired Network===
To turn on local collaboration go to 'My Settings' -> Network and remove the server name. A blank setting will enable local collaboration.
In many situations, computers in the same computer lab will automatically find each other.
Bug {{Bug|1113}} is an example of a situation where this didn't work. Can we give people some guidance on how to make local collaboration work?
