Massive mesh view?

[Walter Bender]

Even outside of the context of the G1G1 program, many of your
questions are relevant. The current "neighborhood view" will not scale
for a large school. We have a number of enhancements to the view  in
the works, principally filtering. (As Philip mentioned, the "friends
view", to which you invite people, is in essence a filtered
neighborhood view--there can be many others.) In the context of a
school or community deployment, there will be multiple Jabber servers,
but we will also want the Jabber servers to talk to each other at some
level, so that there are bridges between islands of users. For G1G1,
there will be a default Jabber server, but undoubtedly more will pop
up.
