In the meantime, I would *love* to see the XS server running, and a tutorial on how to use Sugar with non-XO computers connected thru a XS server... IMHO it's a promise that OLPC/Sugar cannot afford to bypass. </blockquote><div> This is already working. For example, if you use Sugar on a Stick you are using an XS that can work with XO and non-XO computers today. This is 0.5.2 XS installed from the ISO and regularly updated via yum. If you take any installation of Sugar and set the collaboration server to <a href="http://jabber.sugarlabs.org">jabber.sugarlabs.org</a> it should work. No special configuration is needed to support Sugar on non-XO computers that I am aware of.

When I talk to them about Sugar, they immediately ask about the server. -- Bastien <div class="im">_______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) </div><a href="mailto:IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org">IAEP@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep</a> </blockquote></div> -- Dave Bauer <a href="mailto:dave@solutiongrove.com">dave@solutiongrove.com</a> <a href="http://www.solutiongrove.com">http://www.solutiongrove.com</a>
