[Opensim-dev] hypergrid status

[Cristina Videira Lopes]

Gosh, I don't know how many more times I have to say this: the opensim 
API is just wonderful! Just look at the hypergrid code, and you will 
see. It's all done via inheritance, delegation, and region modules. 
Rather than looking at it as an annoyance, I have found it to be an 
exciting constraint to code it up with minimum interference on the core. 
All patches I have submitted in the last couple of weeks have been to 
make things friendly for subclassing, that's all.

My only comment to you core developers is that I see several things in 
the core that probably shouldn't be there. Cores should be as small as 
possible.

When people finally realize that opensim is only casually an application 
that looks like SL but, more importantly, a framework that can be 
extended, I think we will start to see a lot more deviation from SL. The 
message is still not out there. (I promised to put out my traffic sim 
code as an example, but then the hypergrid got control over me...)
