[Opensim-dev] [opensource-dev] TPV & opensim

[Dahlia Trimble]

I have been experimenting with combining and/or offloading physics
simulations on physics capable clients (not LL based) with OpenSim, but
nothing has been released as open source as of yet. It's not clear to me how
a new TLD would affect this though, or why it might be required.
