[Opensim-dev] on to 0.7

Tue Mar 30 09:10:44 UTC 2010

0.7 sure will be a milestone, and needs time to be operational. 3rd party service development & integration is going to boost the platform. And the fact that you can build shells of services opens some very interesting prospects. Especially in terms of scalability & load balancing. This is all VERY exciting.

As for the new website : way to go ! The design is beautiful and has a very professional and "Mac/Xbox/...(your favorite graphical visual environment here)" feel to it, which in my opinion can really make the difference for newcomers on the threshold of a decision, especially as comes to a graphics oriented platform.

>> Right, but wouldn't it make more sense to skip 0.6.9, and just focus on 0.7 and focus on getting the modules to work with 0.7 (since 0.6.9 will be deprecated as soon as 0.7 is released), so wouldn't it make much more sense to just focus our efforts on 0.7?

>> Personally, I'd prefer to focus my efforts on documentation and bug testing/reporting for the upcoming 0.7 release.  I don't want to waste too much time on 0.6.9 (since the documentation is almost the same) and I'd really like to begin working on documentation and tutorials (and a User Guide) for the upcoming 0.7 release and 3+ additional weeks of time is quite a bit (since I have a very busy schedule as well, and 3 additional weeks to work on the 0.7 candidate would be VERY helpful to me personally).  So could we please post a 0.7-pre.rc1 binary, so that those wanting to work on documentation and testing for 0.7 RC can at least start?
