Run a jabber server

From OLPC

OLPC collaboration uses a Jabber server (with a few extra modules and patches) to scale beyond wireless mesh range.

[edit] G1G1

For Give 1 Get 1 users, there is no working Jabber server configured by default, since we cannot handle arbitrary numbers of users on a single server. Look at Community Jabber Servers to see if someone is running a community server you can use.

Then use the Sugar Control Panel to change the jabber server on your XO.

[edit] Running your own server

Currently we only recommend running ejabberd with OLPC-specific patches.

See Installing ejabberd for instructions on installing and configuring it.

For developers, more details on the ejabberd configuration are here: Ejabberd Configuration

If you get a community server up, consider adding it to Community Jabber Servers.
