[Opensim-dev] Inteop patch Mantis#1696

[James Stallings II]

Dont misunderstand me folks - I have no issues with the process, it's a good
one.

I do think we could stand to get ourselves together a little better in the
face of these opportunities in the future though.

My concern is that we have sent some mixed messages. Perhaps unavoidable, as
we all represent different interests.

Count me in as one of the community testers for the patch when it has been
polished. Of course, I will discuss findings here when I've tested.

Cheers
James
