[Opensim-dev] Some more thoughts on "Friendly teleports"

[ezekiel at daelindor.com]

Some additional thoughts from a newbie on the "Friendly Teleports" discussion you had back in September:

For the OpenSims to be really open, the matter of adressing sims and locations in sims will need to be given 
some additional thought. Since, as you state, OpenSim is intended to be an open network (a web) of Sims rather
than a closed world like SL, there definitely is the need for a common way of addressing locations from outside
- from the web or any other world that supports URL-type links.

LL have a proprietary solution in addressing secondlife://sim/x/y/z. A comparable open solution would be something like:
osap://subdomain.domain.tld/sim/x/y/z   (osap is for Open Simulator Access Protocol :)
IMHO the current notion of users logging into grids with ID/PWD falls short of the requirements of an open network. 

P.S: I would love to discuss design decisions that affect the usability and hence success of OpenSim. What you build today
could well be the 'next big thing' that mayaffect the online experience of millions of people in the future.
