[Opensim-dev] Should the core OpenSimdistribution carrymanyscripting languages?

[Frisby, Adam]

We've got a bunch of modules DeepThink will be releasing soon which
would be useful for people doing hosting and large scale installs. (As
well as a module to complement the terrain engine with GIS formats, etc
[needs more testing], and a vegetation handler module)

 

Regards,

 

Adam

I beg to differ; there's quite a few modules right now; they just
(afaik) aren't listed anywhere as such. That would be a good start,
having a wiki page just listing the modules as such.
 
The beauty of the modules are that they alreday now range from the
esoteric to the general, from core to fringe. I guess this also has the
effect of confusing people as over what a 'core module' is.

Another (imho) weird thing is that there are notoriously few region
module 'applications' - Tribal has developed a fully functional chess
game, for example - do we have any other examples of region modules that
aren't 'core utility' functions to showcase?
 
(and alas, that chess board is part of a closed-source project, I merely
mentioned it to exemplify - we can supply screenshots for a showcase
page though)
