Hmm.  That inspires me to consider using sugar in a VM,
or the sugar-emulator from Jani's repo as the platform for the
other project.

Need to get back to reading the Human Interface Guidelines.
I got off track when I realized the vision of the My Neighboorhood
and My Group is not quite what we have.

There is only one group My Friends and the My Group View
is not really a filtered My Neighborhood, it's something else
that approximates the vision.

Yes, I do need to learn how to configure a Moodle sever to
work with a Presence Server.  Until the Presence scaling
issues are resolved we will need our own Presence server.
