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 via a server is more scalable than over link local connections. This server is a Jabber server (with a few extra modules and patches) and is usually included in the XS schoolserver for school deployments.
Community members such as G1G1 XO users, and developers, can use a Jabber server for collaboration without needing the rest of the schoolserver functionality. In this way, "mesh view" can be extended over the Internet for regional or global communities.

Currently we only recommend running ejabberd with OLPC-specific patches.
Currently the only Jabber server that works for Sugar collaboration is [[wikipedia:ejabberd|ejabberd]] with Sugar-specific patches. 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]].
