If it is about technical implementation (not about the initial
purpose), and about the server side:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Server

About the [default] client:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Sugar_Network/Architecture#Client
(but it is the question to Sebastian and Laura).

It is exactly what http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network#Summary
says, ie, share various types of content
(http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network/Concept#Resources)
between Network participants. In might be treated as a "distributed
social network", but it not only about this, see the purpose section
on http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Network#Summary, ie,

* Provide technical and educational support to students and teachers;
* Support social activity of student and teachers with possibility of
  close integration with learning process;
* Connect student and teachers with the rest of Sugar community for,
  e.g., getting a feedback from the field.
