Sugar has serverless collaboration that works very well... as long as there isn't too much collaboration traffic for the network to handle. The maximum number of students seems to vary between 20 and 40, depending on wireless network hardware, physical classroom layout, RF environment, etc. The limits are probably much higher for wired networks.
In other words, if she is only working with one classroom, she probably doesn't need a server. If the laptops are plugged into a wired network, then a server is even less likely to be necessary. If a server is necessary... that's trickier. Setting up a server is a lot of work. Personally, I think "XS as a service" would be a great business for some enterprising company (or even Sugar Labs itself, though that seems less likely these days), and a free taster limited to 30 students per school might be just the way to get started. --Ben
