OpenSimulator is a 3D Application Server.  It can be used to create a 3D Virtual World (ala [http://www.secondlifegrid.net Second Life(tm)]), and includes facilities for creating custom avatars, chatting with others in the environment, building 3D content in world, and creating complex 3D applications in world.  OpenSimulator can also be extended via [[Region_Modules|loadable modules]] or web service interfaces to build more custom 3D Applications.  OpenSimulator is released under a [[BSD License]], making it both open source, and commercially friendly to embed in products.

==About OpenSimulator==
+
The [[History|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 [[Development Team|several developers]]. Out of the box, the OpenSimulator can be used to create a [http://www.secondlifegrid.net 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. Check out the [[OpenSim_Features|list of growing features]] to get an idea of what OpenSimulator is capable of.
+
 
+
OpenSimulator is written in [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm C#], and can run under [http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page Mono] or the [http://www.microsoft.com/net/ 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.
+
 
+
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. Check out the [[Roadmap]], to see what's currently being worked on.
