[Opensim-dev] The essence of "grid"

[Diva Canto]

Just a quick note to inform that the discussion on this thread has moved 
to the Discussion tab in
http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Virtual_World_Model

Not ideal, but I can't think of a better process for brainstorming these 
ideas, short of flooding everyone's Inboxes. Certainly not formal RFCs. 
So in the good tradition of this project, if you have something to add, 
speak pro-actively or be ignored.

My goal is to formulate concise, relatively high-level definitions (sort 
of like "Love is...") that capture the largest possible set of use cases 
for VWs and that can be understood by everyone for all sorts of 
different purposes -- infrastructure development, licensing 
formulations, etc.

Note that, for this most part, the Cable Beach proposal is compatible 
with the Virtual World Model currently in place, these are not competing 
proposals; rather, the Cable Beach page offers more details about 
possible implementations of the high-level model.
