If you get stuck with View Slides, I'll be happy to take a look. > One thing I hope you'll address is the question of setting up a sharing > test environment as simply as possible.

As Tomeu pointed out you can use salut and it is the fall-back for when you cannot connect to a Jabber server. If you want to run your own server, I have posted instructions on the wiki on installing ejabberd with the required patches and configuration at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd (The [[Jabber]] page links to [[Run your own jabber server]] which in turn links to [[Installing ejabberd]] so it should be discoverable if you know it's there...) > Another point I hope you'll address is the code in the Read activity for > sharing.

The Read activity is definitely on my list as the sharing was found to have reliability issues in recent testing.
