In fact I *have* been running multiple instances of Sugar-jhbuild on
the same box for test purposes. This is much more convenient than
using two machines, especially since the Xubuntu machine's RPM's are
out of date so Read sharing doesn't work at all.<br>
<br>
I have the two instances as separate menu options in WindowMaker, one
called "astroboy" and the other "astrogirl". Sometimes this works just
fine. In the neighborhood view they can see each other, as well as
several other icons and activities, which I always assumed were
developers on the collabora server. Lately the Neighborhood view has
been empty; the two instances can only see themselves. Since I have
not updated sugar-jhbuild at all since the last time this was working I
assumed it was because the server was down.<br>
<br>
My first instance I launch the normal way, and the second as shown in
the document:<br>
<br>
SUGAR_PROFILE=2 ./sugar-jhbuild run<br>
<br>
In any case, if I could get the Salut thing working that would be
*exactly* the kind of thing that I hope that Morgan would document
better.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre wrap="">Morgan,
I am one of those people developing activities that make use of
collaboration. I'm pleased to see that someone has been charged to make
that easier, especially through better documentation. My Activities are
Read Etexts and View Slides. Both make use of code adapted from the
Read activity, although only Read Etexts has sharing implemented in a
released package. It does seem to work. View Slides has sharing code
in git, but not released as that code does NOT work at this time.
One thing I hope you'll address is the question of setting up a sharing
test environment as simply as possible. I have been using Xubuntu with
Sugar RPMs on one machine and Sugar-jhbuild on openSUSE 10.2 on
another. Both use the Collabora server, and I have a G1G1 laptop
pointing to that server as well. The thing is, I don't know if I have
Collabora's blessing to use their server for my testing, and even if I
did, it is frequently out of service. Ideally I could set up my own
server. I do know that just having ejabberd installed from RPMs is not
enough. (I tried that and it didn't work). So what is the simplest way
for me to have my own sharing environment?

You can easily use salut-based collaboration by running several
instances of the xephyr-based emulator like this:

Hope it helps,
