[Opensim-dev] hypergrid status

[Michael Wright]

+1000000. 

I think we all/most want to see core smaller than it is. Its just getting to the point of having stable API's so we can start moving things out. 

And totally agree that we should do more to get the message out that opensim is a platform, that just has a reference application included that makes it act basically like SL.

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...)

This is the interoperability fast-track - I love it.
    
      

Personally, I love the fact that Diva claims it's all been very simple 
to code, due to the modularity and malleability of OpenSim. We should 
all pat ourselves on the back and keep the torch of decoupling high 
wherever we run.
