Feature roadmap/Synchronous collaboration

• Allow for intuitive mesh connection and activity-sharing.
• Must support first two use cases defined at: Use Cases#Collaboration Examples
• Requirements#Mesh / Connectivity_Requirements
• Requirements#AbiWord Sharing Requirements
• http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/sugar/2008-July/007407.html
• May need to include that link in developer section below, tbd

• Fix tubes so that peer to peer data is sent with peer to peer connections on the network where possible
• Fix the way JIDs are allocated to be more coherent and based on the child's nickname (also would benefit a lot from having hierachical DNS naming on the school server so each JID is globally unique)
• Expose JIDs in the UI and allow them to be typed in and approved by normal subscription requests, allowing collaboration with anyone whose JID you know
• Implement the Telepathy file transfer spec to enable that feature in Sugar
• Enable avatars in Sugar (although maybe not if we're doing link-local multicast on an XO mesh network) and maybe some UI for taking a photo and setting that as your avatar
