​http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/activities/Write-87.xo has an early version of that fix.

​http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/activities/Write-87.1.xo have a improved version than show the activity is establishing the connection, and disable the abi widget until communication is established.

This activity can't collaborate 100% times. I see many problems, but I don't know if is in the activity or in lower part of the stack.

• At times, the collaboration is ok.

• At times, both instances start but show different documents, and never sync.

• At times, the changes in the joiner ar lost, but the changes in the offering xo are propagated.

Other issue related with collaboration saw are:

• On time, the activity was closed in both xos, but a Write icon continued in the neighborhood view until restarted the xo.

• Another time, the python process didn't ended (see #4454). I needed kill the process before be able to establish another successful collaboration.

I have tried with one xo-4 B1 and one xo-4 C1, first with os32 and later with os34. Also tried with "iw dev eth0 set power_save off" in the C1 unit. I think is a little better but still there are a lot of fails.

Then, while the _shared_activity issue is solved, there are something more not working.

Uploaded Write 88 to aslo. The only change is hide by default the "connecting" message.

I don't know why this is visible in xo-1.5 but not in xo-4

Testing collaboration between two xo-1.5, collaboration is working in a much reliable way than in xo-4. I don't know if the problems are related with my environment, confirmation is welcomed.
