About OpenSimulator
The OpenSimulator Project is a BSD Licensed Virtual Worlds Server which can be used for creating and deploying 3D Virtual Environments. It has been developed by several developers. Out of the box, the OpenSimulator can be used to create a Second Life(tm) like environment, able to run in a standalone mode or connected to other OpenSimulator instances through built in grid technology. It can also easily be extended to produce more specialized 3D interactive applications.

OpenSimulator is written in C#, and can run under Mono or the Microsoft .NET runtimes. Due to its clean modular nature it is possible to significantly extend functionality yourself via plug-in modules to suit your application. If you're interested in contributing, please read our Contributions Policy, and learn what OpenSimulator's values are. All kinds of help are welcome, whether it is in the form of code patches, testing, documentation or maintenance of this wiki.
OpenSimulator is currently considered to be alpha level code. Please don't expect to run it in production environments without giving it a lot of care and attention. This is especially true if you follow the Subversion trunk or overnight builds, since the OpenSimulator developers are directly adding new features to this code. At the cutting edge, important functionality may stop working for short periods of time.
