[Opensim-dev] OGPX Request for Participation

[Cristina Videira Lopes]

Yeah, too many things too little time, unfortunately.
You clearly don't need my input for OGP, it seems that it's well 
thought-out and close to being a finished design. I'll be looking 
forward to seeing the opensim OGP implementation coming our way. With 
the new software architecture we are putting in place, this should be 
easier for you to do, since even the agent/object simulation will be 
pluggable.

In contrast to my input being useless to OGP, your input will be most 
welcome here when we discuss Grider, for example, and the changes that 
the clients need to undergo for the Hypergrid2. LL's cooperation on 
changes to the client would be of enormous value.

As for efforts to IETF OGP, I really think it's premature to engage in 
such efforts. The IETF is not a design forum, it's a place to discuss 
and compare existing working implementations, of which, in the case of 
OGP, there are none available for the community to assess (I'm 
discounting the OGP module in OpenSim, because it only illustrates a 
small portion of the protocol). But obviously you should do whatever you 
think is best, and I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of people 
interested in helping you succeed with making OGP an official internet 
standard.
