[Opensim-dev] A proposed groups architecture

[James Stallings II]

Hey guys - dont forget that group-scopes apply to objects too, in ways quite
similar to land.

IMHO this is work the original designers at LL really didn't think through
very well, or at least see through to consistent implementation. It bears
considerable resemblance to something done as an afterthought.

In any case, we may/may not have an opportunity to do better; your thoughts?

Cheers
James
