What is a Jabber Server

A (specially configured) jabber server is used to allow multiple XOs/Sugar instances to connect and collaborate remotely. Imagine that a school in Peru and a school in Canada wanted to collaborate via their XOs. The mesh network doesn't stretch that far, but the two schools could use a Jabber server to communicate.

The non-sugarlabs.org servers might serve specific geographic regions or other groups.

To set up your own community or private server, see: Run your own jabber server.
