Changes (by bemasc):

 * cc: olpc at collabora.co.uk (added)


Comment:

 Currently, the default server (in 759) is set to olpc.collabora.co.uk.
 This server is being used for experimental testing on the Gadget branch,
 and no longer has the shared roster hack, so collaboration and presence do
 not work at all.  Moreover, the XO will automatically connect to this
 server whenever an internet connection is available, and deactivate Salut,
 so sharing between to two laptops connected to the same AP no longer works
 when there is an internet connection.

 thomaswamm: You don't need a server to have sharing work.  Two laptops
 that are simply near each other, or connected to the same AP, will
 automatically "see" each other and begin sharing.  Servers are only
 required for sharing between large numbers of users, or between users who
 are not on the same LAN.  There is no single official sharing server,
 because no one wants the responsibility of maintaining it.  See
