[Opensim-dev] Trust & distributed grids

[diva at metaverseink.com]

OpenSim is open source, so anyone can experiment with anything at any 
time. CB and Rex (and me) have been in the front line of experimentation 
with logins and identity.

What I meant was that the modularization that has been done for most 
services so far, except the user services (sigh), makes these 
experimentations a lot easier. Specifically for logins, identity, trust, 
etc the current entanglement related to users and everything else is a 
royal PITA.

But the refactoring is coming, and it will give everyone a decent 
sandbox to try out whatever ideas they may have without having to hit 
their heads on mountains of puzzling dependencies.
