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

~~Related Information~~:

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].

*'''Jabber ~~Servers''' - [[Community~~ Jabber ~~servers]~~]

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
-''replace jabber.server.url with the jabber server you with to use''
-then restart Sugar (warning: close activities first to save) by pressing ctrl+alt+erase, then go to the neighborhood view and have fun!
-:But what if you wish to connect to one of several jabber servers because you   belong to several communities/SIGs?  I can live with one-at-a-time, but it  would be wonderful if I could pick from a list I've created.  Or at least a  list of jabber servers I've previously connected to.  How about a syntax for "choice <n> from file <x>" and "show me choices in file <x>"? -- davewa
