My wife and I were talking about this earlier, and going 'community' 
seems to be the better choice.  I'll probably set something up in the 
next week or two specifically for Boston-area (mostly my social circles, 
but I suspect it'll expand) groups.

Do I simply use the sugar-control-panel -s jabber j1.olpc.stonekeep.com 
or the like to point the XO's to my server?  And they'll come up as 
active / neighborhood users?

Thanks...
