Hi, Sam<br>
<br>
The neighborhood view shows laptops that are connected by the
network. I have no idea how you expect to have a concurrent
connection with the school server and an ad hoc network (let alone
those who are connected to different ad hoc networks). If you were
successful, then all laptops would see messages on all four networks
- which probably would increase latency.<br>

<div>In the new system, we will avoid this limitation. You will
be able to see buddies on the schoolserver and avhai at the same
time. It will not make a difference from a user perspective.</div>

<div>If this makes the local network collaboration more widely
used, I'm excited about that. Obviously, direct local
communication has less latency than using a server. Less
latency is a better user experience!</div>

I am still having a problem. You were referring to XMPP not avahi.

<blockquote>I'm sorry. I don't understand you. Currently collaboration in locations with a school server is done by ejabberd. This resulted from the fact that the original mesh and later ad hoc networks did not support the requirements of actual deployments. This means the software supports XMMP to connect with jabber servers.

Avahi is *not* the mesh or adhoc network.
Avahi broadcasts things over a local wifi network - one with routers and stuff. It doesn't do mesh or adhoc.
