[Opensim-dev] Thoughts on Scripting

[J Ross Nicoll]

The problem with an external script server is you're still doomed if  
the server goes down. You need to be able to serialise state anyway or  
the first extended powercut/hardware fault/intern looking for a kettle  
lead will cause unspeakable chaos.

You'd also be bringing in even more delay in script response time, but  
that's relatively minor.
