[Opensim-dev] "Horizons" (panels) and a public "I am sorry"

[Dirk Krause]

Which brings me to the question, is there a place to share 'beyond SL' ideas? Are they welcome at all?

I could think of some features that add to the SL-like experience (like the above).

They look like they could be used for a skybox or a skydome, but I don't
