[Opensim-dev] Opensim Wiki Wifi Page?

[James Stallings II]

There are criteria why one might be preferred over the other for inclusion
in the core code base. Among those: very limited functionality; simplicity
with respect to both usability and ease of maintenance and support; and that
the code originates from a core contributor. This particular web interfaces
satisfies in each respect.

That said, I suggested that you review the thread again as no one (myself
included), is endorsing this code for inclusion as core code.

Cheers
James
