How to use Salut?

[James Simmons]

Morgan,

Thanks for the information on ejabberd.  I may try that this weekend.  I 
am still puzzled by salut, though.  I am using sugar-jhbuild on openSUSE 
10.2 and everything seemed to compile OK, but running two instances of 
Sugar does not seem to support sharing when the Collabora server is 
down.  They don't see each other in the Neighborhood view.  So it looks 
like Salut isn't doing its job.

I know you have a lot on your plate, but information on diagnosing Salut 
problems would be a good addition to the Wiki.

Speaking of the Wiki, I did a search on Salut and the page I found gave 
the impression that Salut only works when there is NO internet 
connectivity.  Since my development machines are always connected to the 
Internet this could be why I can't share between instances.  The wiki 
page I found is at: 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_Network_Configuration#Salut

Thanks,

James Simmons
