[Opensim-dev] Development models

[Diva Canto]

The OpenSim project has a process for assessing and approving code to 
core, and the Hypergrid patch went through that process. In case you 
weren't here then, you can look those discussions up in the archives of 
this mailing list back in October/November.

I'm not sure the process is explained on the Wiki. Some of it is here:
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Support#Feature_Requests
But it's not complete. Maybe Justin or others can explain it, if people 
are interested in knowing.
