Sugar collaboration uses a Jabber server (with a few extra modules and patches) to connect users who aren't connecting with other Sugar users on a wireless mesh range.
Sugar collaboration is built on top of [[wikipedia:Jabber|XMPP (Jabber)]], an open and extensible [[wikipedia:instant messaging|instant messaging]] protocol.  Collaboration can use either Link-local connections, or a server.


Collaboration via a server is more scalable, but requires special Sugar support in the server.
A server can be set up using the [[School_Server|XS school server]] for school deployments.

Currently we only recommend running ejabberd with OLPC-specific patches.
Two different Jabber server programs are known to work with Sugar; prosody and ejabberd.
 
=== prosody ===
 
As used by the [[Service/jabber|Sugar Labs Jabber server]].


:Please clarify in plain English what this means...
See [[Platform_Team/Prosody]].


See [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd Installing ejabberd] for instructions on installing and configuring it.

If you get a community server up, consider adding it to [[A list of Jabber networks around the world]].
