  Yes, I don't own an XO, but I've tried running two sugar-jhbuild instances, 
and it works fine. Well, there's no turn enforcement (you can play anywhere 
anytime, even if it's the other guys turn), and you can't really tell if 
anyone connected until they place a stone. So its very rough around the 
edges. 

  I also agree on the GnuGo priority. KISS first :).

  The only mention I could find is on http://blog.circlesoft.com/ But if there 
ever was a maintainer, it's clear that the project is completely orphaned.
