It looks like the plan is to integrate Cerebro into a Telepathy connection manager, for link local connectivity. > Would you say that this test passed?

The Chat activity used currently with Cerebro isn't the regular Chat activity - it is one that has been customised to work with Cerebro outside of the existing Presence Service collaboration framework. > I ask because there is recent feedback on mesh issues from a teacher at > Lambayeque, Peru http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Lambayeque#Inconvenientes and > a teacher in Uruguay has asked about supported Mesh features too.

Please don't tell them to use the existing Chat on the existing collaboration framework in that way - I think we can only handle less than 10 XOs on simple mesh (no jabber server) with some reasonable reliability. > The good news is they are motivated to use the mesh which helps validate > one design goal of the XO.
