Stabilize Collaboration further
Goals
- Make sure the sharing functionality from 10.1.3 is available in 11.2.0
- activities that have sharing not implemented should have the sharing button disabled (e.g. Physics, Moon...)
Status
Tests are done using two machines (one XO-1.5 and one XO-1) running 11.2.0. For testing gabble "jabber.sugarlabs.org" is used. Collaboration is tested with Hello-mesh and Memorize.

Notes
- the new sharing button does not indicate well when an activity has been shared
- does the status for an invited sharing session stay 'private'?
- join activity is not implemented in friends view (in 11.2.0 the activity looks like it is not shown)
- friends view should have a search toolbar
- title is displayed in the neighborhood view, but not in the Journal or the activity toolbar
- (in the Journal it saves the members at leaving time)
- invite to activity that can not be shared
- in the neighborhood view one icon can draw over the other one
- work-flow for the file-transfer (dismiss)
- in jhbuild we still include dbus-glib-0.82 and telepathy-gabble-0.10.4, Salut is not working on F14
