[Opensim-dev] hypergrid rough explanation

[Stefan Andersson]

Ususally, how we want to go about stuff like this is:
 
* There should be a project doing really cool stuff in the form of tools, applications and modules, like the hypergrid project, Rex Server, whathaveyou projects
* Whatever we can refactor in the core to do subclassing, extending and hooking easier for these cool peer/sub-projects, without losing soul, we should. These are the applications that drive our platform.* After proofed by time, if some parts of that cool project are deemed to fit within the OpenSim core vision, we should "pull up" code into core. Simple oo. ;-)
 
Incidentally, we should also probably start to "push down" code into subprojects soon methinks. Best regards,Stefan AnderssonTribal Media AB Join the 3d web revolution : http://tribalnet.se/
