[Opensim-dev] rex auth & avatar systems (Re: future rexviewer merger)

[Cristina Videira Lopes]

To be precise, the comparison is not really between the hypergrid and 
Rex's avatar server; it's about comparing Rex's avatar server with 
OpenSim's User+Asset+Inventory trio.
The hypergrid is simply adding the capability of region servers 
interacting with several of those trios instead of just one.

So, the unclear spot, really, is why Rex felt the need to substitute UAI 
with something else.
