[Opensim-dev] New Web Services Front End to link to Opensim using ROBUST

[ssm2017]

another point about drupal
everyone knows that it is not user friendly but this is a good cms for
common uses
the next version (7) should be easier to manage
this is not the goal of an opensim dev to explain to other people how
to install and use an external program
to use d4os, people should already know how to use drupal

if you would like to use a full mvc / object oriented php code with
easy install, you can maybe try to use joomla
the actual version is poor with acl and some other things compared to drupal
but the next version (1.6) looks very fine
