| + | Networks may link Sugar users to each other in order to chat, interact and collaborate. Many Sugar activities have automatic collaboration and chat features. |
| | | |
| + | 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]. |

− | === Connecting to a community jabber server ===
| + | 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. |
− | If you want to connect quickly, simply open terminal. Then type the following commands :
| |
| | | |
− | sugar-control-panel -s jabber jabber.server.url | + | 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]. |
| | | |
− | ''replace jabber.server.url with the jabber server you with to use''
| + | See also [[Community Jabber servers]]. |
− | | |
− | then restart Sugar (warning: close activities first to save) by pressing ctrl+alt+erase, then go to the neighborhood view and have fun!

| |

| |

| |
