[Opensim-dev] Development models

[Charles Krinke]

Diva went out of her way to put the original HyperGrid module on the forge. 

After it had gained acceptance, *others* suggested to her that adding it to the core part of OpenSim would be to our advantage.

We all voted on that and agreed this was the right thing to do.

There are other modules that in forge that come along from time to time, and some of them may very well end up in the core logic as we find and appropriate consensus.

Charles

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.
