I just added my tests to it.
The short
version is that everything's working except collaboration (which has a
known fix, see below) and Read (not because the Activity doesn't work,
but because there's nothing to read with it and it's therefore hard to
test/quickly-start-using).
In terms of getting Mirabelle ready to go out the door, right now we need:
* this telepathy-gabble update,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc13,
to be pushed to the Fedora updates repo – it has +3 karma but is still
in testing, and must be pushed before Tuesday; without it, collaboration
in SoaS does not work at all.
In the meantime; this will bring up the Network Neighborhood for
Collaboration over the internet:
Sebastian found this and it works:

I uploaded it to a more convenient location:
I just discovered that you can copy paste the "telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm"
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm
file into the opened USB folder on a PC Desktop from where you have previously
downloaded it to the PC Desktop.
Do the same with the SugarClone script:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/fgrose/SugarClone
Then when you boot from the USB, You have a self duplicating USB
In sugar-terminal:
su
rpm -Uvh /mnt/live/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm
Reboot the USB and Presence service will work.
and then:
su
/mnt/SugarClone will duplicate the customized USB, with the fixed presence
service, to a 2nd USB of the same type.

In sugar terminal:
1-) su
2-) wget
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm
3-) rpm -Uvh
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/telepathy-gabble-0.9.11-1.fc14.i686.rpm
4-) Restart USB
This will have to be done for testing until the update gets pushed into the
soas spin build.
* download/install instructions for burning the image to a stick, for
every major operating system, that can be followed by a classroom
teacher without technical expertise. We know the Blueberry install
instructions (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Blueberry)
do not fit this criteria, and would love for someone – probably a
non-engineer – to help rewrite them. Install instructions will either go
on http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/#downloads or be linked to from
this page.
Step by step procedure to use the liveinst command in sugar terminal
(Anaconda) to write a 4GB USB with a ext4 (real file system):
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category_talk:Live_USB#How_to_install_to_a_4GB_USB_using_liveinst.28ANACONDA.29_from_SoaS
* tested on soas-i386-20100501.07.iso as a 2GB USB today' (Minimum size
of 4GB is required as it does not use a Compressed filesystem with
overlay like the live USB.)
I wish this could be more simply scripted...It is NOT for novices to try.
This needs to be simplified!
The resulting USB is VERY stable as it uses a ext4 Journaled File system
and will not fill up easily.
