The idea would be to get sugar to function more like a standard jabber IM client, as well as using existing standards in place of some of the custom solutions used now (xmlrpc instead of dbus perhaps?). I would also like to talk about using the colaboration API to talk to external services not on the jabber network(a moodle server for instance). As well as a possibly a few API changes to make these sorts of services easier to access for activity developers.

I would also like to discuss some of the jabber scalability problems, as well as how we manage grouping students into classes, and collaborating with other schools over the internet.

I'm very interested in it. Unfortunately we won't have the Collabora
guys at Sugarcamp, but I think we should discuss collaboration anyway
(maybe we can involve them in some way remotely?). +1 about adding to
the wiki by me :)
