These are all of a etoys networking experiment. I do not think they are of much use to students unless they are enhanced quite a bit
They are used in Sugar for collaboration. On other platforms they are too hard to use in a classroom, agreed, because you have to type in IP addresses manually. It would need some equivalent of Sugar's "presence service" to easily connect to peers.
The conclusion seems to be that they should not be exposed in the Object Catalog. Is that right? Can we hide them?
They are already hidden, since they do not appear in any category.
They are not hidden. They appear in the alphabetical listing, where every devoted and systematic discoverer will come upon them and be baffled.

May I put your comment in the manual as an explanation of why there is no explanation of these objects? ^_^
Or an explanation how they work.
That would be fine, if I had one, or if somebody who did volunteered to write it.
But mentioning them is a good idea, since people may stumble upon them like you did.

Bafflement is a good trigger for learning, right? ;)
If something is not in any category, we consider it hidden.
