[Opensim-dev] Opensim Wiki Wifi Page?

Fri Aug 6 20:15:15 UTC 2010

I'm going to produce a zip file with Wifi on it, along with  
installation instructions. I think it will be _very_extremelly_ easy  
to install... as long as people stick to tagged releases. People  
running intermediary OpenSim code will have the get source and compile  
it. That's life.

(It took Ai a few hours to figure it out all by himself without any  
help from me whatsoever. A README file inside the zip will make it a  
no brainer to everyone)

This doesn't quite provide a systematic solution for 3rd party addons  
yet. But it will be a good data point in order to figure out how to do  
it more systematically.
