− | Due to scalability issues, jabber servers can currently only handle up to about 150 users at a time. It is best if specific communities run their own servers - by geographic region, by special interest, whether for kids/parents only or adult users...
| + | Networks may link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. Many Sugar activities have automatic collaboration and chat features. |
| | | |
− | To set up your own server, see instructions at [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Run_your_own_jabber_server Run your own jabber server].
| + | For Sugar users on a local network, the linking is automatic, using Link-local XMPP connection management via the Telepathy Salut software. Each Sugar user will be shown on the [https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/neighborhood_view.html Neighbourhood View]. |
| | | |
| + | For Sugar users distributed over a wide area network, linking can be through an XMPP or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabber Jabber] server. A server is operated by Sugar Labs for testing, and some schools or teams may run their own server. |

− | === Connecting to a community jabber server ===
| + | Talk to your network administrator for the best Jabber server to use. See [https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/my_settings.html#network My Settings, Network, Server]. |

| |
| | | |
− | sugar-control-panel -s jabber jabber.server.url
| + | See also [[Community Jabber servers]]. |
− | | |
