Hello, I have started working on adding the feature of "Search able tags" to Sugar. This will allow the users to tag them self or any else in the network. These tag will be generalized tags. Users will have the option to search for users having a particular tag. Say for example I tag my self as : "I love python". Then if a user in the network searches for "python", the result will show me. Here are some of the use cases (contributed by tomeu): Use case 1: Finding people with similar interests: Pepe enjoyed during the weekend his first rock climbing experience and would like to find other people in his school who also like it. Use case 2: Limiting the mesh view to a subset defined locally: Maria is a teacher and would like that during her classes, only her students in that class appear in the mesh view. Proposed user experience Use case 1: finding people with similar interests: Pepe tags itself as climbing, and when someone searches in the mesh view for "climbing", Pepe will appear in the results. Use case 2: limiting the mesh view to a subset defined locally: Maria tags each of the students in that class with the tag "my_class", so that when searches in the mesh view for that text, only her students appear. In the case that someone else has tagged himself with that same tag, it will appear as well in the results, but will be marked differently as the local matches. As it can be seen, this feature will be a precursor to add "Groups" to Sugar. I am right now trying to add these tags to /source/sugar-presence-services/src/buddy.py and try to read these using D-Bus interface. Feedback and suggestions are requested. If some one wants to add some new and interesting use case, they can do it at: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tagging_Proposal">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tagging_Proposal</a> ps: I have ejabberd set up in my system and wanted to know how to use gadget on it. If any one has done some thing similar, please let me know. -- Regards Kartik Rustagi
