Wifi - ... (meaning) ...

Module added to OpenSim 0.7 onwards.

Introduction

Initial information is available from http://www.metaverseink.com/blog/?p=37 and is taken here pretty much verbatim for now... (permission being sought)

Wifi provides an embedded Web application for handling user registrations. Wifi is a set of components that can be loaded up by both standalone simulators and Robust servers. It's features include:

  • Account creation, optionally controlled by the administrator
  • Configurable default avatars for new accounts
  • Account updates by both users and administrator
  • Account deletion by administrator
  • Password recovery via email
  • Simple user inventory management
  • Welcome page that can be used as -loginpage in a viewer

Wifi has a few interesting properties that make it a good fit for small-to-medium OpenSimulator-based virtual worlds. First of all, it doesn’t require the installation of Apache or other Web servers; it’s all done within the OpenSimulator code base.

Diva Distribution

Wifi is included and enabled by default in the Diva Distribution:
