[Sugar-devel] scalability in the neighborhood view

[James Simmons]

Tomeu,

I'm pleased you going to be working on collaboration to make it more
scalable and robust.  When I was working on my FLOSS Manual chapter on
Making Shared Activities I had a hard time setting up test
environments for sharing.  I think I needed to shut down the firewall
on Fedora 10 to use Salut collaboration and I never got Salut working
on Fedora 11 at all.  I also ran into the scalability issues working
with jabber.sugarlabs.org.

One thing I hope you can address is to try and make problems like the
one I had with Salut easier to diagnose.  Maybe more helpful messages
in the logs would do it.  The messages I got weren't all that helpful.
