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.
