The whole Sugar desktop seems very geared towards collaboration. Playing with Sugar, I was pretty amazed by the ability to see other people in the local vicinity and share applications with them.

Sugar has great collaborative features which are, at the infrastructure level, integrated into GNOME today. It could be viewed as a piece of the Online Desktop but the Online Desktop goes a bit further that would not make sense in a children's learning device. Some of it will though and since Sugar is based on GNOME it will eventually get some of what is currently being developed. As for the specific integration of Sugar getting into GNOME beyond just the infrastructure that is a bit less relevant since Sugar is pretty tied to this particular usecase. Perhaps if you were clearer on what you would like to see from sugar get into GNOME I can be clearer in my answer. You are getting your terminology sort of mixed.

There are so many possibilities there - why aren't they being explored? There is already a really awesome online desktop in Sugar.
