The fundamental progroupoid of a general topos

It is well known that the category of covering projections (that is, locally constant objects) of a locally connected topos is equivalent to the classifying topos of a strict progroupoid (or, equivalently, a localic prodiscrete groupoid), the fundamental progroupoid, and that this progroupoid repres...

It is well known that the category of covering projections (that is, locally constant objects) of a locally connected topos is equivalent to the classifying topos of a strict progroupoid (or, equivalently, a localic prodiscrete groupoid), the fundamental progroupoid, and that this progroupoid represents first degree cohomology.
