[Opensim-dev] Using Grider to teleport SL <-> OpenSim

[diva at metaverseink.com]

I confess I haven't thought of that, and that hasn't been the 
motivation. But now that you mention it, it looks like in principle this 
could be done, to some extent. The "to some extent" has to do with the 
very important security pieces of the protocol, which would need 
cooperation from the SL servers to be fully implemented.

When the SL client moves all of its inventory access to CAPs, we'll be 
one step closer to being able to do this safely. But that's not enough. 
We need verifiable identity, and CAPs-based asset transfers, which are 
easy to do in OpenSim, but can only be done for SL by LL staff.

Yes... that's one avenue that I hadn't thought and that definitely needs 
exploring [by people interested in SL <-> OpenSim interop, which hasn't 
been much on my mind because LL has all sorts of non-technical, business 
constraints that make the problem much harder in practice].
