[Opensim-dev] on to 0.7

[Fly Man]

Mark, Others,

When something doesn't work in 0.6.9, it's definitly not going to be working
in 0.7.

I am one of the maintainers for the OpenSim.Search, Opensim.Profle and
OpenSim.FakeCurrency at this moment.

Both Search and Profile work with the latest 0.7 ( with many adjustments at
my side) but there's a lot of tweaking that needs to be done for the
FakeCurrency in order to get things working.

There's 2 ways that I can incorporate FakeCurrency back into the 0.7:

1. Abandon it as the whole Core community sees no use for it

2. Try to recreate the whole module that it will be run as a seperate
process next to the ROBUST so when people really want to use it, it doesn't
interfere with the Core functions.

BUT:

In order to get to the 2, the Core needs to realise that parts of the
currency implementation were killed when moving around tables and removing
pieces of code.

I'd like to have a working implementation as a POC (Proof of Concept) where
other people can extend to it but as of this moment, not even a single
person took the liberty or time to have a conversation about how we can
solve this.

Note for developers: You threw out something that's embedded in many pieces
of the original code, even groups uses some of these parts.

So, in conclusion: Currency wasn't seen as a Core priority and has been
removed from the Core as it's too dangerous.

However, I think Currency is one of the key pieces in some of the code parts
(Groups/Search/Profile) that definitly needs more love then it's getting at
this moment.
