Community Jabber Servers
Due to scalability issues, jabber servers can currently only handle up to about 150 users.
Therefore it is best if specific communities run their own servers - by geographic region, by special interest, whether for kids/parents only or adult users...
To set up your own server, see instructions at Run your own jabber server.
To connect your XO to a jabber server, open terminal and type:
% sugar-control-panel -s jabber xochat.org
(or substitute a different jabber server for "xochat.org", see below)
Restart sugar (ctrl-alt-erase) and you'll be connected to that jabber server.
