Here are some brief notes about OpenSimulator's file structure. Unfortunately, due to historical reasons, most files are stored in the bin/ directory where libraries (DLLs), configuration and cached data is all lumped together.

==addon-modules/==
Addon modules for opensim source code can be placed here. These will be built along with the core OpenSimulator code with the "nant build" command (after running prebuild.sh for the first time). See the README in this directory for more details (needs more information on the wiki).

-This is correct as of OpenSimulator 0.7.4.
+This is correct as of the binary distribution of OpenSimulator 0.7.4.  A source code distribution will have more directories to contain the source code files.  These are not required to actually run OpenSimulator after it has been built.
 This document covers only directories.  It could be usefully extended to cover the files as well.
