Comment(by smcv):

 (I should note that turning off Salut like this when we have a server
 connection doesn't do anything to address any concerns you may have about
 network traffic caused by Salut - as I explained in an email thread a
 month or so ago, most of Salut's network traffic will already have
 happened by the time you connect to the server and turn Salut off.)

 The fundamental UI problem here is that we don't give the child any
 indication or control of whether the activity will be shared locally, or
 on the server, we don't give them that information about activities they
 can see, and we don't show them whether they and their buddies can see the
 server or not; but the observable behaviour is inexplicably different,
 depending on these things.

 I realise hiding irrelevant technical details from the children is a goal,
 but perhaps for 1.1 it would make things clearer if the sharing UI could
 distinguish between local and server sharing (People Near Me vs My School
 perhaps?), and add a badge or other scope indication to
 activities/buddies, or something?
