[Opensim-dev] hypergrid status

[James Stallings II]

W00T! You go Diva :D

This is the interoperability fast-track - I love it. It brings a whole new
way of aggregating regions to the fore, opening up the possibility for the
community to organize itself along ideological lines instead of just
physical ones, and still remain physically associated.

I can't wait to see how far you can take this!

RANT! RANT! RANT!

Cheers,
James/Hiro
